The Vehicle Assembly Building (abbr. VAB, sometimes wrongly called "Vertical Assembly Building") is a large construction facility at Kerbal Space Center. It is commonly used for designing rockets and other spacecraft in a vertical orientation. Parts can be placed with or without two-, three-, four-, six- and eightfold radial symmetry as opposed to the SPH's bilateral symmetry. Vessels constructed in the VAB will launch from the launch pad as of 0.16 Kerbal scientist and engineers roam through the VAB with various animations.
Description
The VAB is a large cubical assembly bay located at the very center of KSC. Large yellow doors act as auxiliary entrances and are located at the north, west, and south faces of the building. On the north side however, there is a giant shutter that spans the whole height of the building. This shutter makes way for all the amazing vehicles that are created inside the VAB. The small complex that juts out of the south side leads to Jeb's, Bill's, and Bob's cloni- [CLASSIFIED]. There are stairs and ladders that lead to the roof of the VAB, but dismounting the tops of the ladders is ... difficult. On the roof, there are 2 helipads on top of beside skylights. As Squad has yet to add propellers and gyros, the helipads are reserved for landers.
