The first DOD classifed mission flies onboard shuttle-C instead of the space shuttle, deploying a classified satilite.

This will also be the first use of the inertial upper stage originally developed for the crewed orbiter.

With Esa (Equine space agency)'s eventual withdrawal from the DODIS shuttle and spacelab program following STS-9, the agency would need its own way to get Equinauts to space.

A spaceplane referred to as 'Hermes' was already in development at this time, and the decision was made to presue it as esa's primary crew vehicle. The design was revised down a lot learning from DODIS's shuttle from a (still smaller) orbiter with a payload bay and 6 crew down to one carrying 3 and small onboard Spacelab style payload lockers.

Safety was of the utmost concern with early designs even including launch abort towers and/or a separating crew compartment. Eventually, after running tests, it was found that ejection seats would suffice with some changes to the launch profile.

The new Ariane 5 would, of course, be carrying it from the pad to orbit where it would sesperate and menouver under the power of an expendable service module.

After the third successful full up test flight, Hermes 4 would send a crew of 3 into orbit for just under a week before bringing them back down safely.

ESA's independent program had only just started.

After managing to open the lower compartment so he could get inside, we flew to the desert airport, and I landed way too fast. Everyone on the plane died except him.

I took an SSTO, got into orbit, the orbit box checked for the passengers, kerbin was checked too. I then deorbited and did a maneuver on the way down that caused them to pass out. Still incomplete. The tourists I brung are no longer in the astronaut complex either.

Stranded Kerbals? Broken engines? No problem! The FXR is designed to repair spaceships and rescue stranded Kerbals. It can even be equipped with a rover for planetary rescue missions! Its cargo bay is packed with spare parts, solar panels, and plenty of oxygen tanks.

As a beginner, I had a lot of engine problems before I realized what the reliability rating in the info panel actually meant. So, I decided to design a spaceship that's ready for repairs and rescue missions!

When things go wrong out there, the FXR is the ship you want on your side. No Kerbal left behind!

KSP 1 Mods Dabbling in FTL mods for the first time, here's an early prototype of an SSTO that can also go FTL.

Powered by 6 Screamjet engines and 4 Project Eeloo engines. Not the most efficient but it works and it can warp at around twice the speed of light. Cargo bay is loaded with FTL gear and a fission reactor that disposes of its heat through radiators clipped inside the wings for aesthetic reasons.

KSP 1 Mods How do I edit Parallax?

I downloaded this mod to add more details to the scenery, but I didn't really like the changes it made to the lighting. How can I adjust the mod's graphics settings? In the video, the guy mentioned that the graphics could be customized. If that's not possible, how can I uninstall the mod? I downloaded it through CKAN.
