[Loru]

Jarvis Space Center (under construction) is located on Jarvis Island, small patch of ground near the equator on the Pacific Ocean.

Spaceport consists of:

- Heavy Launch Vehicle complex
- Medium Launch Vehicle complex
- Vertical Assembly Facility (for HLVs)
- Horizontal Assembly Facility (for MLVs)
- 4 km long runway
- Docks
- Deep Space Telemetry Antenna
- Nuclear Powerplant
- LH2/LOX production plant
- 2 air traffic doppler radars
- XR-2 & XR-5 class hangars
- Living quarters for ground crew and astronauts
- Warehouses for storing equipment
- Probe Monument

Below there are few photos of the island

You took out a wildlife refuge for a space center?!

 

[Woo482]

I think destroying the refuge is worth it the base is looking awesome Loru!

 

[garyw]

Fair point. It does look good Loru!

 

[Tycho]

Well, don't forget that there is a wildlife refuge at KSC as well!

does this have anything to do with the Jarvis HLV developed by Fausto? bit of a coincidence...

also, its almost exactly on the space shuttles deorbit/re-entry path... another coincidence...

 

[Loru]

It has nothing to do with Jarvis HLV. The island's name is Jarvis. That's the reason it's named Jarvis Space Center.

Space Shuttles deorbit/re-entry path - also coincidence - the base's primary functions are GTO/GEO operations (that's why it's located on equator)

 

[Grover]

well, i dont care, ill still launch a Jarvis from it, stick a satalite in it and knock it into GEO... then test an anti-satalite missile launch facuility intergrated into the centre... yea...
