OPS-5, like OPS-6, was the predecessor of Almaz-T.

Unlike previous stations, it have additional fuel tanks in the front, instead of VA adapter or docking port

Later it was bought by Excalibur, and delivered to Man isle.

Was not launched due to lack of funding both in the USSR and in England

    @LM5Apollo11 actually, i recommend you to remove side antennas on the top(not the gray radar on bottom), or they will prevent the solar panels from rotating

    @LM5Apollo11 I hope you are not trying to launch it in RSS, because it is intended for the stock system, and other similar systems.

    Ater entering orbit 115×115 in the stock system, the third stage still has about 8 tons of fuel
