Preamble by LazarusLuan
The SpaceX Historic Archive is designed as an add-on for the LazTek SpaceX Launch Pack, and SpaceX Exploration Expansion Kit. The included .craft files require the installation of the Launch Pack and Exploration Expansion to load correctly. Remove any prior installations of this package before installing to prevent incompatibilities with older parts. To install, extract the GameData and Ships folders into your KSP program folder. When asked to merge, choose yes.

Low, medium and high resolutions are available for these mods which include replicas of the new SpaceX Dragon V2 capsule and trunk, SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 and Falcon Heavy launch platforms, proposed Historic Archive, plus special configurations for exploration, asteroid redirection, refueling, colonization and more! Add the SpaceX Historic Archive for access to the original DragonRider concept spacecraft.

LT SpaceX Dragon Explorer V1 - Designed and tested to explore and return from every planetary body in the Kerbol system, this ship can be converted to non-atmospheric mode to save weight if desired and is set up to use new experimental SuperDraco/PulseJet hybrid technology, combining air-breathing and conventional closed-system rocket tech. (Use these keys: 5-ladder 6-hatch 8-retractable nose cone 9-retractable solar panel covers 0-solar panels.
