This tutorial will show you how to create a multi-functional münar orbital station

Specifications

• Length: 30–60 minutes
• Difficulty: Hard
• For version: 0.23+ (unless you build your own rocket)

Steps

Step 1 - Building your Mun Launcher

Your Mun Launcher should be capable of launching craft into orbit around the Mun and be able to return home.

Mun I

This launcher was of my own design. It weighs 281.47t and has a thrust to weight ratio of 2.61.

• Payload
  • I had three: A Munar Lander, A Munar Station and a large fuel tank. I'll go into the details later.
• Third Stage
  • 1x Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port
  • 1x Mk1-2 Command Pod or any other pod (doesn't matter if it is un-manned)
    • 2x Mk2-R Radial-Mount Parachute
    • 1x MechJeb 2 (AR202 case) (optional)
  • 1x Rockomax Brand Decoupler
  • 1x FL-R1 RCS Fuel Tank
  • 1x Rockomax X200-16 Fuel Tank
    • 4x Gigantor XL Solar Array
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block
  • 1x Rockomax "Poodle" Liquid Engine
• Second Stage
  • 1x Rockomax Brand Decoupler
  • 1x Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block (Positioned at top of fuel tank)
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block (Positioned in middle of fuel tank)
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block (Positioned at bottom of fuel tank)
  • 1x Rockomax "Mainsail" Liquid Engine
• First Stage
  • 1x Rockomax Brand Decoupler
  • 1x Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block
  • 1x TR-38-D
  • 1x Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank
    • 4x RV-105 RCS Thruster Block
  • 1x Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank
    • 2x TT-70 Radial Decoupler
      • 2x LFB KR-1x2
  • 1x S3 KS-25x4 Engine Cluster

Add Struts where you like! Especially on the bottom stage.
