The Inland Kerbal Space Center (sometimes called KSC 2[1]) is a second spaceport on Kerbin consisting of a vehicle assembly building, a launch pad, and a tracking station. It is generally considered an easter egg. It is not possible to build or launch any vehicles from this space center. It doesn't have a runway, although the land is flat enough for taxiing aircraft on.

[[File:InlandKSC.22.png|thumb|The surface sample returns the same information as at KSC] Kerbal Space Program seems to treat the Inland Kerbal Space Center like the main Kerbal Space Center for reporting craft situations. Currently[outdated] the game treats craft on the launch pad here as if they were on the LaunchPad at KSC. The position of craft landed here is described as Landed at KSC. Because of this, the official name is not known. So when trying to launch a craft it will request to recover the craft on the launch pad at this space port. The surface probe types are shared.

As of 0.22[outdated], the Inland Kerbal Space Center uses the old VAB, Launchpad and Tracking Station models/textures previously used for the main KSC in versions 0.20 and earlier. In this sense, it is still possible to visit the old buildings in the new version. Also there is a monolith near the tracking station.

Spoiler: Easter egg
It is located northwest of the true Kerbal Space Center (approximate bearing 300°, distance 760 km) in a flat valley at the south-east end of a large mountain range, within a depression shaped like "H" or "K". The recommended way to reach it is by plane.
