Preamble by LazarusLuan
The LaxTek Exploration Expansion Kit is designed as an add-on for our LazTek Launch Pack, and the included .craft files require the installation of the Launch Pack to load correctly.

Available for download in low, medium and high resolution versions, these mods include replicas of the new SpaceX Dragon V2 capsule and trunk, SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 and Falcon Heavy launch platforms, proposed Exploration Expansion, plus special configurations for exploration, asteroid redirection, refueling, colonization and more! Add the SpaceX Exploration Expansion for access to the original DragonRider concept spacecraft.
