CloudLab in Orbit

Description

Also known as KerbLab V2 (Completely Stock Parts Only Craft File: www.mediafire.com/view/2bk6br9… ) It is the perfect low orbit fully assembled at launch space station for getting your kerbals used to the idea of extended stays in space.

Yes, it's in orbit now, hovering between 79,000 and 80,500... it was as close as I could get. Took some fenagaling (and a little bit of infinifuel tward the end because the fuel transfer line wasn't connecting properly no matter what I did so the main engine kept running out of fuel before the liquid boosters did) but it's there. Now all that's left is to crew it... which should be a hell of a lot easier.

Stats:
Fuel: Plenty of Monopropelent, small amount of fuel and Xenon Gas stored in tanks making up the "Radio Telescope"
Crew: Min 2 (Capable of holding 8 though)
Battery Life: ... you won't have any problems with it
Lights: Believe me, you won't have anything hidden in the dark.

Left side has dish with antenna retracted, Right side has antenna extended on dish.

Oh, and Yes this thing is completely balanced already. All you have to do is stick a lift system under it and get it into an orbit. Though some extra RCS ports on the lift stages will help, this thing turns like a whale untill all the stages are seperated from it.
