This mod comes with everything you need to create your own Skylab, broken solar panels and all!
I went for the actual skylab rather than the intended one with this design so this mod includes the main skylab module, left solar array, micrometeorite shields and nosecone. UPDATED: This mod now includes the original design station too!
The textures were taken from actual reference shots of the station.

##This mod comes in three versions to support the most popular Saturn V mods:
- DECQ Saturn V - (Supported via Module Manager patch)
- OLDD Saturn V - (Supported via Module Manager patch)
- FASA - (Supported via Module Manager patch)
##Install instructions:
- Download and install mod from here
NOTE: This mod is compatible with my other mod's scaling by default if you don't have DECQ, FASA or OLDD Saturn V installed.
First download Module Manager here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55219
-If you have DECQ, FASA or OLDD Saturn V's the corresponding mm patch will be automatically applied. In the event you have 2 or more of these, the mm patches overwrite eachother in this order FASA<OLDD<DECQ, meaning DECQ overwrites both of the previous ones.
Launching this station successfully is a difficult task and not meant for beginners. I intentionally made it difficult. For people having trouble here is an optimal ascent profile.
- turn start altitude: 1km
- turn end altitude: 70km
- turn shape: 64%
If you follow this you should end up with a couple hundred DV extra. Basically, fly a very steep ascent profile only leveling off at the very end or you won't have enough fuel to reach orbit.
- DO NOT decouple the left solar panel on the "unbroken" version of the station. This panel has the ability to "come off" as it is used both by the realistic skylab and the unbroken one. It does not come off on the unbroken version.
- Stage your rocket so the micrometeorite shields and left solar array decouple at the same time as the first stage. The top nosecones should come off anytime after the second stage is lit.
The Skylab ASAS must be used to properly control the station. The included craft files already have this installed on the station for you.
