More photos are now available here!

BTW it turned out to be a serious proposal dated all the way back to the Soviet era in the late 1980's and 1990's! Here's a detailed discussion on it.

PeterRoss is undoubtedly the most crafty IMS tester. Lately he built a rotating orbital station and reached Mars:

To go any further we'll have to wait for our modellers getting some high-performance engines done.

For a minute I was also thinking about changing the add-on name into Space-Craft as a lame pun, but I guess it would lead to too much confusion with Vinka's spacecraft framework.

And here we go! After years of LEO and LLO projects I finally launched my first mission to establish a long term international lunar base.

T- 1 minute until the launch of 'Pegasus', the Crew Transfer Vehicle and 'SeaHawk', the lunar lander.

Lift-off!

Leaving Earth

Booster separation and the escape tower is gone

SECO-1, Pegasus is free from the launcher

Solar panels deployed, turned around to take a first look at SeaHawk

Translating to the docking port of SeaHawk

Aligned with the docking port, GO for docking

Getting close

Capture! And we're on our way to the moon

Can you release that?

Can you release that?

It isn't my add-on, it is the awesome HLV add-on.

Now that the D3D9 client supports normal maps and specular maps, that beautiful rocket looks too shiny :



Someday I'll make a try at making such maps, I think that the result could be awesome...

Three launchers on the equator.

 

[Jarod]

There is no such things as three launches.

Have always loved the smoke trail on the Ariane 5. Wish more launchers did it that way.

 

[astrosammy]

It's usually the first thing I remove when installing Ariane 5... Don't want to know the FPS in that image

Recent PAXSA mission

Here is a picture of PAXSA's newest XR2 "Enterprise" just after reentry and landing to ASVI. PAXSA is also cooperating with the Italian Space Agency to build a new station called "Solaris".
