Available only with the Making History Expansion installed.

Making History Parts are the basic assembly items for rocket construction in Kerbal Space Program that resemble real-life rockets. As a whole, they compose the building materials the player can choose from in the Vehicle Assembly Building. Making History Parts are added into eight major categories: Pods, Fuel Tanks, Engines, Structural, Coupling, Payload, Ground, and Thermal. The expansion has 64 parts to choose from (as of version 1.7).

The Making History parts in the game are based of the American Space Programs (NASA) and Soviet (USSR) cosmonautics during the 1950s-1980s, but were given a KSP feel.

Tables of Parts

In the tables are the main properties of the parts. In most cases the tables follows the categorization structure of the game. In case of deviation, the position in part board of the game is noted. Some parts have been made physicsless to improve performance in the game from version 0.23 onwards. These parts behave as if they have no mass and cause no drag, unless they become the root part of a vessel.

Many parts have some resource storing capacity, which makes the mass and the cost different in full and empty state. In this case the full is shown as normal, and the empty values are in round brackets under the full values. Some properties, like the entry cost, are not included, but can be found in the part-box on right side of the part's page.
