ESA Surface Outpost "Aneto"

"Aneto" is the third surface outpost of ESA following the "Jungfrau" and "Brocken". It’s designed as a self-sufficient facility for habitation, researching, resource collecting & converting, fuel storage & refueling, and relay/telecommunication, serving the purpose of supporting surface exploration activities. Named after the highest mountain in the Pyrenees. It has just finished a long-term crewed field test in the Atacama desert. Crew held a celebration party on the upper deck, leaving a mess to be cleaned up or not to be cleaned up.

----------------------------------
Like the first two ESA outposts, "Aneto" features fully sealed and connected interior spaces: 3 living quarters connected with a cupola/atrium, laborotary, entrance/control room and a corridor; 2 accessible outdoor decks; Mining & ISRU equipments and surface docking ports.

Although similar to its predecessors, "Aneto" is redesigned in many important aspects. It utilises more easily available building material (see also: DLC-Free Initiative), features improved layout, structure and illumination system, and has a universal docking device known as the Klaw. Unnecessary functionalities have been removed.

----------------------------------
Technically viewed, Aneto has 729m/s dV and 3.54 TWR on the Mun, weights 83.2t (wet)/ 65.2t (dry), has a large docking port on the bottom. Therefore, while such a base should be assembled at low orbit or on the surface in reality, it should be possible to launch and land the whole thing with big rockets in a kerbal way. I didn’t try that however, Jungfrau and Brocken were brought to the Mun by cheats, I just pretend that they did all the assembling work there.

----------------------------------
Known issue: Crew can enter the Mk1 Lander on the lower deck, but cannot exit from it. The corridor ahead must be raised a lot to fix this, which I do not want to do. Just use the Lab to access this deck.

Wish you enjoy!
