Launch 5-5: Mun Modular Space Station

Year 5, Day 54.
Mission Objectives:

1. Deploy modular space station core in orbit around Mun.

As with the launch of the KMSS, this launch is built around a new DLSv3 rocket, and features a refined flight plan. Both of these have been heavily simulated, so we have no concerns about this launch. None, whatsoever.

Payload: Biko Service Module

Lifter: DLSv3 Atlas V Medium
