Idea Space HAB for XR5

[rdb12340]

Here is my idea, a Habitat cargo for the XR5 that would fill most or all of the payload bay.

The purpose would be to make longer duration trips i.e. Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, etc, slightly more realistic.

Can this be done, I know its possible to make a payload fit the whole XR2 payload bay.

Thanks for thinking about this,

WeHaveAProblem had a work-in-progress perhaps similar to what you are asking for. There haven't been any updates that I've seen, but here is the page...

Somewhere on the forum here is some discussion about more of the same, another version had more of a resort/hotel look to it. But I can't seem to localize it with the search. Using the wrong keywords apparently...

Thank you sir,

That's exactly what I was talking about, I hope they finish that thing one day, but it's good to know that someone is working on it

Wow, I like the idea.

Questions...
Can the config on the cargo be editted to give unlimited oxygen, whilst keeping the wieght of the cargo (habitat) low enough for takeoff from Earth.

How could it be fitted into the bay. The small 20 foot containers have slots so you can manage the bay layout and wieght distribution on the Payload Manager. How can it be altered for the habitat cargo so you can click it into position while denying other cargos from being added.?

The XR5 is huge really and the bay offers a really good playground when people think like this. :thumbup:

Ha! I found it the thread I'd mentioned earlier.
