A good crowd of Kerbals gather in Mission Control to watch the launch of Spacedock 2!
“Look at it go! It is so LOUD!”
-Gillian, watching from outside
The massive Nova Rocket blasts off from Mission Control – the largest (and most expensive!) launch system available to KSEA!
“Boards show a good launch – all systems nominal… watch those readings people… “
-Gene, directing the launch from Mission Control
The first stage takes the rocket up to the Station’s new altitude,100k above Kerbin….
…then separates, allowing a short second stage to finish the circularization!
Spacedock 2 should be in its final orbit, however engineers want to wait before ejecting the orbital stage just in case there are any last minute changes to the station’s final orbit!

I had originally started using 200k as my “standard” orbit (which is quite high) in my previous game because I didn’t like how blocky and bad the terrain of Kerbin looked at lower altitudes.
However, thanks to some impressive work from modders the terrain looks great from almost every altitude now!
In-universe the 200k orbit is probably filled with debris from the Kraken-attacked Spacedock incident!
