This massive booster can easily shunt this collosal (flatpacked) machine!

Stage separation includes fireworks!

Context

The International Space Station took countless Proton and Space Shuttle Launches to complete. So why not scale it down a bit and slap a massive booster to it? Presenting the single launch micro ISS, for those moments where you cannot be bothered to dock!

This upper stage is reusable and can deliver the station to LKO / MKO

Craft Info

Make sure to not do an aggressive gravity turn otherwise pieces of the flat packed station can clip out of the fairing (BG hinges like to do that :/
.

When you press AG1 to assemble the station from flat pack form, be aware that the hinges do not like to stay still for a while after deployment. You can speed this process up by time warping at certain points. Alternatively, you can autostrut once unpacked and/or install KJR (I do not have this)
.

Undock the second stages docking port to deploy station in packed format. Carefully move the strut arms out of the way of the station
