Project Andoria - Crewed Mission to Pluto Part 1. | KSP RSS/RO/ROKerbalism
5,552Project Andoria begins! In Part 1 of 3, it's time for orbital assembly of a massive cargo ship to transport fuel, habitats, and a lander to Pluto quickly.
This is the largest Crewed Mission I've ever constructed in KSP RSS/RO. It took months of planning, filming, and editing! I hope you enjoy this trilogy :)

Additional note: Fission reactors & radiators lack proper RO configs, I based the general configs off of TEMs radiators https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/890092386649247795/890093839971401759/unknown.png , plus a supermassive scale version of SAFE-400 (in terms of weight and heat output) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/890092386649247795/890096892355166228/unknown.png
VASIMR drive is custom configured, based upon the same stats as lab-tested ones, just scaled up linearly much bigger to reduce part count.
