Features 3 Probes: Sputnik, Luna, and Vega
All 3 Probes are set up with connectors for the in-game ship editor!
To build in game use Shift + E or View > Debug > "Editor Toggle" (second option from the bottom)
"Enable Connecting" allows ksp-like building, "Enable Snapping" allows you to surface/radial mount.

In addition to the Probes, we all saw our favorite youtubers playing with the Apollo CSM and Gemini 6a featured in prior builds.
With some minor tweaks I got the original Rocketwerkz Apollo CSM and Gemini 6a reconnected for you all to admire and play!

Features Earth, Moon, and Venus to explore.​

Transitioned this mod into "ProbePartsPlus" with update 1.3!
Now featuring historical spacecraft Sputnik, Luna-2, and Vega. All set up with properly placed connectors to utilize the in-game ship editor. Slap an engine on these bad bois and take Sputnik where it was never designed! or make a scrapyard masterpiece combining them all into one mega-ship!

Built In-Game with connectors:​

​

*scales tweaked in building editor, does not represent default probe sizes, Sputnik is properly smaller, Vega is larger.

Future plans:​

• Historical probes: Voyager, Mars-3, Mariner, Pioneer, Viking, Juno, Galileo, Magellan, Cassini, New Horizons, Hubble, James Web, JUICE, ect...
• Custom probe cores: classic hexagon/octagon, cube-sat, pioneer-esk cylinder, return capsule, truss structures
• Busses and adapters (Hex/Octa to 1m and .5m circle)
• Smaller vacuum engine
• Reaction wheels/gyros (RCS without the effects?)
• Radial mount antenna and solar panel parts

Spoiler: | Development Update | Octagon Probe Parts WIP

> Work in progress parts: relay dish, dish adapter buss, probe core, structural buss, radial solar panels, balloon fuel tank, engine cage/plate, and vacuum engine.

Spoiler: | Development Update | Mars-3 WIP
