[[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.

The [[Inland Kerbal Space Center]], (also known as KSC2, officially Baikerbanur) is the second space center that represents the pre-0.20 KSC buildings, although it was created in 0.14.2. 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. There is speculation that the old SPH is underneath the ground but there isn't any proof of this.

[[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 the latitudes of 73.56 and the longitudes of 84.27.

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.

[[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 the latitudes of 8.39 and the longitudes of -179.68.

This article is a stub. You can help KSP Wiki by expanding it.
This section contains spoilers. Linking to a subsection is not recommended as this will skip over this warning.
Map of relay stations/bases around Kerbin as of 1.2.

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.


Kerbal Space Center

The Kerbal Space Center illuminated at night.

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

This section contains spoilers. Linking to a subsection is not recommended as this will skip over this warning.
The buildings in the central area of the 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

This section contains spoilers. Linking to a subsection is not recommended as this will skip over this warning.
The VAB and the Launch Pad shown.

The Inland Kerbal Space Center, (also known as KSC2, officially Baikerbanur) is the second space center that represents the pre-0.20 KSC buildings, although it was created in 0.14.2. 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. There is speculation that the old SPH is underneath the ground but there isn't any proof of this.

Woomerang Launch Site

The Launch Pad and its water tower.

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

The launch site and runway shown.

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.
