Modular Launch Pads v2 Dev Demo: Saturn Launch Stand
1What was originally going to be the American Launch Stand before it got way too complex for that purpose and thus was put on hold has been remade as the Saturn Launch Stand, again inspired by the concrete "stools" used at the original LC-34 and 37 for the Saturn I and IB. This is a demo of the stand and companion tower, but the tower can be used with other pads, and other towers can be used with this stand.
Only the general crew access arm is done, I still have to make the general swng arm and drop umbilicals, so this is an imcomplete demo.
The stand has configurations for 4.25m, 3.75, 3.125m, 2.5m and 1.875m stack sizess, and has integrated hold-down arms in differerent configurations as well; these can be switched off and other hold-downs used instead.
The stand has an optional base block for the tower (like the real one had), with four different positions available (not like the real one ;-) ). Towers can be used without the base block if desired.
The tower has switchable (nominal) heights from 10m to 50m in 5m increments, and can be used as an unmanned service tower, or as a crew elevator with two types of a crew access section (2.5m and 5m) and an elevator pad.
The tower base block has a ladder that Kerbals can use to access the crew elevator if the tower if mounted on the block.
The Apollo-Saturn IB used for the demo launch is from Bluedog Design Bureau.
