SpaceLab

SpaceLab is a first generation Kerbin Orbit Space Station launched by KASA.

Launched on board an Artemis I Rocket, SpaceLab was designed to be launched in a single launch.

The SpaceLab entered a slightly inclined orbit above the equator.

History
SpaceLab was the brainchild of KASA's Head Wernher von Kerman. Space Stations were seen as an integral gateway to further Space Exploration, such as the Mun and Duna.

Space Stations could serve as a way station and refuel station, so that Space Optimized craft could dock, refuel, take cargo launched aboard conventional rockets.

SpaceLab was seen as the first step in recognizing this.

SpaceLab was to serve as a testbed for Orbital Rendezvous, prolonged Kerbal presence in space, and other LKO Science Experiments.

Launched on board a Artemis I rocket, the SpaceLab entered a slightly elliptical orbit at ~200km.

Mission History
SpaceLab was supported by conventional rocket launches from KASA. Manned missions were launched on top of Trojan II rockets, and later Trojan III rockets. The SpaceLab has been occupied non-continuously, with many missions being deferred to the Terranova Space Station after Orbital Rendezvous had been fully practiced.

After 3 years of testing, the Terranova Space Station began construction, with the rocket launch of the core module. The SpaceLab was continuously manned during this period to serve as a manned rescue crew to fix the unmanned TSS if any issues arose.

After the completion of the TSS, SpaceLab was deemed obsolete in its current orbit. SpaceLab remained dormant for several years. KASA had several proposals for SpaceLab: KCT-001 - A test rendezvous. The station was photographed but not docked with.
 * Return SpaceLab aboard the Regera Cargo SSTO (rendered impossible by the conversion to Block V)
 * Put SpaceLab into Mun orbit
