− | The '''Dessert Airfield''' is a new site added in version 1.2 of the [[Making History]] expansion, and arguably the 5th spaceport on Kerbin. It is situated at a modestly southern (-6 degrees latitude) plain, to provide additional variety and challenge for missions. The [[Dessert Launch Site]] is directly adjacent.

− | === Buildings ===
| |
− | The site is substantially better equipped than the [[Island Airfield]], containing both a [[launch pad]], and a longer (1.75 km) runway. Support buildings (eg: hangers, windmills, control tower) are nearby. The pad and airfield count as additional [[biomes]], separate from all previous ones. A relay station seems to be on the pad if one launches from there, but the [[KerbNet]] connection from the runway goes to Baikerbanur, some 248 km away.

− | === Launching from Dessert ===
| |
− | You can only launch from Dessert if you enable <code>Allow other Launchsites</code> in the [[Game Difficulty|Difficulty Settings]]. When enabled you can launch a plane from the SPH via the dropdown menu under the '''Launch''' button. When you hover over it, a menu appears with available launch sites. Select the arrow next to '''Dessert Airfield''' to launch from there.

| |
− | Dessert is likely a pun on the similarity of the word with desert, and a reference to those delicious snacks that Kerbals sometimes crave.
