LSI 1 · Station status
Six modules. All ports occupied. Huddin and Katdorf aboard. The station has a telescope now. Two telescopes, technically.
Current occupancy
Engineer Huddin Kerman and scientist Katdorf Kerman — original MSC-003 crew, remaining through the next rotation. Pilot Jedidiah Kerman returned to Kerbin solo on R-SLS2 following RESTLESS integration; scheduled to fly the adapter crew module.

| Module | ID | Builder / Owner | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Command Module | LSI-001-CMD | KerbalX | Operational |
| Science Module | LSI-001-SCI | KerbalX | Active |
| Electrical Module | LSI-ELECTRICAL | KOEING | Operational |

Docking ports
All four docking ports occupied. Port 2 — Electrical Module. Port 3 — OBSERVE. Port 4 — RESTLESS (adapter, bridges legacy port geometry to corrected standard). Port 1 — POTHOLE (KFD/KeedMartin, FSOM+SLS2 delivery). No free ports remain.
POTHOLE highlights
POTHOLE-CAM · Road pothole · 380 km altitude · 0.28 m/px · KFD primary mission imagery.
POTHOLE-CAM is a high-resolution ground-imaging telescope commissioned by Kerbin First Daily to photograph road infrastructure from orbit. KFD published its first image — a pothole — as a front-page exclusive. The Council was notified. The Council motion failed 411–1.
The station crew has since repurposed the telescope for astronomical observation during passes not over Kerbin. Katdorf Kerman has been directing POTHOLE-CAM at specific deep-space coordinates during night passes. MSC public affairs has confirmed the telescope is operational. It has not commented on the pointing coordinates.

RESTLESS highlights
Enlarged habitation quarters and hitchhiker storage. KerbalNet high-speed uplink installed and operational. Survey scanner onboard — integration with science module stack pending. Huddin Kerman performed the EVA to deploy RESTLESS arrays — second EVA in MSC program history.
OBSERVE highlights
Observation cupola and engineer utility node. Spare solar panels, batteries, EVA repair kits, and jetpack spares staged aboard. Additional habitation volume enables extended crew stays and flexible rotation scheduling.
Station capacity
LSI 1 is now rated for a maximum of 8 crew for extended stays. Current occupancy: 2.
