Located on Kerbin, The Kerbal Space Center (KSC) is currently the only location that missions can be launched from. Featuring a number of buildings and structures, it acts as a central hub granting access to all parts of the game.

Functional Structures

Vehicle Assembly Building

The Vehicle Assembly Building is a large construction facility on the surface of Kerbin at Kerbal Space Center's launch complex. Rockets and other spacecraft can be designed vertically.

Tracking Station

The Tracking Station allows access, observation and cancellation of all missions currently active, including splashed-down or landed ships. Note that this does not include crashed or otherwise ended missions, and is not available in the demo.

Space Plane Hangar

The Space Plane Hangar allows players to construct air- and spacecraft in a horizontal environment and proceed to launch them from a conventional runway.

Launch Pad

Vessels launched from the Vehicle Assembly building will start from the Launchpad Platform next to the non-functional Launchpad Tower.

 Launchpad
 0.102668048653556°S, 74.5753856554463°W
 ~68.41 m altitude

Runway

Vessels launched from the Space Plane Hangar will start from (and possibly land on) the Runway.

 Runway
 0.0405816849745605°S, 74.6913027972574°W
 ~65.75 m altitude (west end)
 Aligned 90°/270° (facing 90° by default)
 ~1800 m length

Non-functional Structures

Coolant Tanks

A big globular Coolant Tank with a climbable ladder as well as three smaller Coolant Tanks can be found southwest of the Launchpad.

Water Tower

Located northwest of the Launchpad, the Water tower is about as tall as the Launchpad Tower.
