Project Andoria begins! In Part 1 of 3, it's time for orbital assembly of a massive cargo ship to transport fuel, habitats, and a lander to Pluto quickly.

This is the largest Crewed Mission I've ever constructed in KSP RSS/RO. It took months of planning, filming, and editing! I hope you enjoy this trilogy :)

Additional note: Fission reactors & radiators lack proper RO configs, I based the general configs off of TEMs radiators https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachment... , plus a supermassive scale version of SAFE400 (in terms of weight and heat output) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachment...

VASIMR drive is custom configured, based upon the same stats as labtested ones, just scaled up linearly much bigger to reduce part count.
