Planet Earth has entered the age of the Personal Satellite with the introduction of Interorbital's TubeSat Personal Satellite (PS) Kit. The IOS TubeSat PS Kit is the low-cost alternative to the CubeSat. It has three-quarters of the mass (0.75-kg or 1.65-lb) and volume of a CubeSat, but still offers plenty of room for most experiments or applications. And, best of all, the price of the TubeSat kit includes the price of a launch into Low Earth Orbit on an IOS modular launch vehicle. Since the TubeSats are placed into self-decaying orbits 310 kilometers (192 miles) above the Earth's surface, they do not contribute to the long-term build-up of orbital debris. After operating for a several weeks or months (the exact length of time on orbit is dependent on solar activity), they will safely re-enter the atmosphere and burn-up.(http://www.interorbital.com/interorbital_06222015_002.htm)
The meshes are autogenerated with RSB-Rocket Stage Builder (https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7104)
This project creates stages/rocket/launchers that are not custom created for Orbiter. Visualization improvments will come later as Rocket Stage Builder tool evolves.
Real specifications are used as data are available. Some data may contain aproximations(were no data are available).
