A mission order for Starship - Alpha Sky Base:
Spacecraft involved:
-ASK (Alpha Sky Base 2, the first one was lost)
-ASA Starship - Super Heavy
-SHELV (Standard Heavy Expandable Lifting Vehicle)
-SAM (Station assembly module)
-LAS (Launch Pad assembly system)
Mission order:
Phase 1: Ready
-Vehicle: Starship, LAS, Super Heavy
+Starship and LAS OLP (on the launch pad), move to the East
+Super Heavy upper part and LAS OLP, move to the West
+Super Heavy lower part OLP (no LAS)
+Super Heavy upper part stack on lower part using LAS
+Starship stack on Super Heavy using LAS
+Detach LAS
Phase 2: Launch
+Starship launch until the SH fuel tank has ~15% of fuel left and separate stage.
+Starship parking orbit. Set SH as targets
+When SH is at ~5000m, switch to SH and land.
+Starship to orbit
Phase 3: Docking
[no further explanation]
Phase 4: Transport crew/cargo to ASK.
+500m from ASK: open cargo bay using RCS
+200m from ASK: aim for the docking bay 1 for cargo and docking bay 2 for crew
+0m from ASK: docking
—Secure the airlock for crew mission
—Detach the payload, pull out and install using SAM for module payload mission
-Refuel the Starship with ASK's fuel (~30% recommended)
-Undock, deorbit and land.
Phase 5: Refuel ASK
-SHELV (with fuel tank payload) OLP
-Launch and docking at docking bay 2
-Refueling ASK with SHELV stage 2 fuel (Shelv must have ~10% fuel)
-Undock and deorbit
Just a normal plan and may change in the future. The plan is available for public but not the vehicle
