This addon (WIP, 15 Dec2005 >> updated 18 Dec2005) is based on some NASA's Vision for Space Exploration (and ESAS) ideas and goals but it also contains a few of my own adaptations, extrapolations, creative liberties as well integrations with other author(s) addons. The objective here is not to do an 1 on 1 simulation of those ideas! With that in mind, you will find inside, for now, two variants of the SRB Launcher (aka CLV aka "the stick"), one ATV (and tug) concept as well the integration between the CLV and:
Francisdrake's ESAS CEV
Francisdrake's Biconic CEV
Sputnik's HL-20 PLS
The current zip includes nice (I hope!) automatic guidances, smoke effects and sounds as well some interesting scenarios... Can you safely land after aborting the launch? Can you make an abort after TLI? Can you go to the Moon (with the heavy CLV)?
Further updates (no release dates) will upgrade the available toys as well introduce some new stuff. Happy flights and... Please, do read the included README and scenarios descriptions, ok? Thanks.
