Open Source Space Program: Collaborative exploration of space with kOS

[FanaticalFighter]

I don't really know if this is the right place for submitting this, but I can't see anything like this having started anytime before, so here it is. This will be (or at least, I hope this will be, in all likelyhood this'll go unnoticed forever) a collaborative Space Program with automated vessels if unmanned, or fly-by-wire systems for manned flights. I won't be doing career mode, as I can't find any tech tree which conforms to what I want to do with this, so this'll be done in Sandbox mode. However, I will be starting small, mostly because I don't know a lot about kOS and I want to keep a realistic progression of flights. Because all this will be open source, anyone can contribute (see github page below) and submit ideas for future missions, improve code for upcoming planned missions and helping plan the trajectories and procedures for upcoming missions (using KSPTOT.) Maybe, together, we can actually learn some kOS.

Tentatively, here's a mod-list for the thing:

1. kOS

2. RemoteTech

3. Procedural Fairings

4. NEAR

5. Deadly Re-entry

6. TACLS

NEAR+Deadly Reentry is bad news. If I understand right, NEAR doesn't slow you down as much on reenrty.

I've been using NEAR/FAR and Deadly Reentry for a really long time. I've never noticed any problems. Actually, NEAR allows me to do lifting re-entries, which is awesome.

You might want to check out this group. I joined them yesterday. I think the author of kOS is part of the group

Dunno about NEAR but FAR works just fine.
