Revision as of 20:30, 18 February 2022
This is a list of relay stations/bases on Kerbin that are currently in 1.12.0 Note: only the Kerbal Space Center is an operational base (without Making History) whilst the rest can only be visited. There some launch sites/bases that can be operational once they have been discovered by flying or driving near them.
Contents
Kerbal Space Center
The Kerbal Space Center is where everything is managed, from launching rockets to sacrificing kerbals to the Kraken. It's the only operational base on Kerbin that has destructible buildings that will require costs to fix. Players will launch from here and return home to Kerbin and will be greeted by the recovery screen with the movable map of the KSC in the background.
Island Airfield
Island Airfield is an abandoned strip of land just to the east of the Kerbal Space center. It has a short runway which can make it challenging to land on, aside with the fact that some of the land around the runway is raised to the same level which gives some space if the plane doesn't land exactly on the runway strip. In one of the hangers are some very old parts from pre-0.18 with an over-sized Mk1 capsule. It is possible to launch aircraft from here with Making History.
Inland Kerbal Space Center
The Inland Kerbal Space Center, (also known as KSC2, officially Baikerbanur) is a second space center made of some pre-0.19 KSC buildings, although it was created in 0.14.2. There is no SPH or runway. At 20° 39′ 43″ N 146° 27′ 37″ W, it is very far from the Kerbal Space Center and can only be reached by airplanes with a lot of fuel and/or efficient engines. It can also be reached by rockets.
Making History DLC Launch Site
The making History DLC brought 2 additional launch sites. The Woomerang Launch Site and the Dessert Launch Complex.
Woomerang Launch Site
The Woomerang Launch Site is a relatively austere launch site located in Kerbin's northern hemisphere, added in Making History 1.0. Contains a launch pad in a somewhat different style from that at KSC and a water tower. The site is called Larkes in CommNet.
Dessert Launch Complex
Treated ingame as two separate sites, the Dessert Launch Complex features both a launch pad and runway, located within the "western desert" region. The name is a pun developed by snack obsessed Kerbals. Can only be accessed if you have the making history dlc.
1.12 Discoverable Bases
The 1.12 update brought discoverable bases that could be accessible for use once discovered. A discovery notification also shows up for the
Glacier Lake Launch Site
Glacier Lake Launch Site is a launch site that has a launch pad and some other decorative buildings such as a water tower and some buildings. The launch site is located near a small lake that is partially covered by a glacier and a tall mountain range. The launch site is also on a steep hill (estimates of around 30 degrees of incline) The launch site can only be used when is it discovered. The Glacier Lake Launch Site is located at a latitude of 73.56 and a longitude of 84.27.
Cove Launch Site
The Cove Launch Site is a launch site that is about 50 kilometers away from the Kerbal Space Center (KSC). The launch site can be accessed once it has been discovered. The launch site does not require the Breaking Ground or Making History DLC. The launch site is located near the ocean and is near the coordinates of 3.7 and -72.2 (latitude and longitude). The launch site comes with 3 small buildings, some fuel tanks, a water tank, and a launch pad. The launch pad is the only structure at the launch site which is on an island. The launch site is located at a latitude of 3.70 and a longitude of -72.20.
Mahi Mahi Launch Site
Mahi Mahi Launch Site is a launch site that is on a large island southwest of the Kerbal Space Center. The launch site is on a beach with an incline at around 5 degrees and is near the coordinates of -49.8 and -120.8 (latitude and longitude). The launch site can be accessed once it has been discovered. The launch site has 3 small buildings, a water tower, some fuel tanks, and a launch pad. It was added in the 1.12 update, Final Approach. The Mahi Mahi Launch Site is located at a latitude of -49.80 and a longitude of -120.77.
Crater Launch Site
Crater Launch Site is a launch site that can be accessed when it has been discovered. It does not require the Making History or Breaking Ground DLC to find though. It came free along side the 1.12 update, Final Approach, on June 24, 2021. The launch site is located on an island in the middle of Kerbin's most pronounced craters on the east side of the island. The launch site is located on a steep slope (of around 30 degrees). Due to the steep incline the launch site cannot have a runway without modifying the terrain. The Crater Launch Site consist of a small building complex, a launch pad, a water tower, and some fuel tanks. The Crater Launch Site is located at a latitude of 8.39 and a longitude of -179.68.

Nye Island
Nye Island is a relay station located on an island and is considered an easter egg because of its name. It is presumed that the name is a reference to Bill Nye. Nye Island is located at a latitude of 5.363611 and at a longitude of 108.548056. Nye Island is classified as an anomaly and will appear up as a white question mark on KerbNet.

Location of ComNet Stations
ComNet Stations were added alongside KSP 1.2 and the 1.2 pre-release. They are used to comminicate with satellites, ships, space stations, and etcetera.

Location of Discoverable Launch Sites
Four more launch sites we added alongside the KSP 1.12 update, Final Approach, on June 24th, 2021. This was KSP's tenth anniversary. These launch sites cannot be used until they have been "discovered'. You can "discover" these four launch sites by flying or driving near them. If flying you have to be under ten-thousands meter from sea level.
