A new record is set for the heaviest payload as the Jool IV blasts off from the launchpad, carrying the new Kerbin Spaceport into orbit!

Once in orbit the fairings deploy!

The guidance systems put the Spaceport into a 71k orbit of Kerbin – lower than the Kerbin Space Station – but it should make it easier to get to the station!

The massive solar panels deploy, and the Spaceport is ready to go!  Refueling scheduling has already begun – that means the station should be fully functional in mere days!

But, that’s not all!  Another component of the station will be launched soon, to expand fuel and docking capacity!  After that a new science module will be launched.
