An in orbit fuel depot may change the way your kerbals live! Imagine going to Eeloo with only enough fuel to get into orbit!

Stabber

Stabber is a long narrow fuel depot best for beginners.

Ship Design

You will need to launch this ship up many times to get the desired amount of fuel into orbit.

Asteroid based

Asteroid based fuel depots have fuel tanks attached via you guessed it, an asteroid!

How to Construct

You will need to launch this ship up many times to get the desired amount of fuel into orbit. You may also need to launch an asteroid redirect mission to get an asteroid in the desired orbit.
