Back in the USSR!

Please welcome another historical pair of spacecraft into the next beta release, Soyuz and the Salyut 1 space station.

Skylab has cleared the tower!

Modeling of the Apollo Command & Service Module is now complete along with an old historical friend, Skylab! Expect to see these two together in the near future.

Introducing The Lunar Module!

The lunar Module is a very light weight spacecraft, sensitive to control input and has very little fuel reserves! The Lunar Module will act in both rolls as a docking target and a pilotable craft, I hope you'll enjoy flying it!

New Docking System Allows For Tugging & Undocking

I've finished work on a new script for docking management that utilizes the Unity Configurable Joint component in order to hold the target and piloted craft together. This can be applied to holding any other modules together, in a space station for instance. It's planned that in future, missions will involve tugging and docking of target modules for space station based operations among many more possibilities.

The undocking system has also been implemented which will allow for the movement of craft from one docking port to another in order to make way for new modules or craft. Missions involving transferring cargo from one target to another are also a future possibility.

Dev Blog is Complete!

After a solid 5 minutes of PHP writing I've managed to create a simple blogging system that includes all the HTML post files from a directory in the reverse order of their file name. So each new post is just another simple HTML file with its name being a number that's one larger than the previous post. Easy as. I've also made it very easy to include images since I just need to change the CSS class to be either "big", "medium" or "small"
