Workshop and Steam to Lab and Atomics: Kostok 1

With the recent opening of the 'Workshop and Steam to Lab and Atomics' museum a few weeks ago we have been quickly filling the exhibits with all forms of Kerbal History. Today we mark the first of these exhibits in the 'To Boldly Go' section.

The Kostok 1, the first Kerb'd mission in our history.

The Kostok 1 project began in with the Union of Socialist Kerban Republics soon after the Great War. With the cold war ahead and it's succesfull flight of stayputnik in 1957, it was decided that to cover up their ICBM development and to bolster national pride that they would put a Kerbal in space. The Space craft was to be flown by Kurie Gagarin atop a K-7 rocket and in 1961 it lifted of the launch pad. With tests with dogs going well in the months prior confidence was high. The mission only took 1 hour and 48 minutes but it was a great wake up call to the United States of Kerban which was still in the testing phases. While the USK made it to the moon Kerbals should not forget the great leap that was taken in the yearly years of the space race by the USKR.

Performence: She works pretty well, has onboard RCS and has enough fuel to easily deorbit herself

Hi everyone, now that KSP has workshop support I have decided that I will contrabute. I'm hoping to post every so often with high quality models. I will also be using a little bit of Lore i have made up and will give you a short kerbalized version of the history of each I post. This as you can tell is Vostok 1. she maybe a bit off in some areas but I hope its good enough. I have packaged it with a decoupler so you can attach any lifter you want to it. REMEMBER spawn the pod first then the rocket so you can merge them properly together! I should be posting my Kerbal version of the R-7 rocket right after this so stay tooned.

Link to my other R-7(K-7) Rocket to match this craft just to make it easier to find!: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1419470452
