<h2>The do-it-yourself autopilot<a class="headerlink" href="#the-do-it-yourself-autopilot" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p><strong>kOS</strong>, or Kerbal Operating System, is a community-supported
mod for the popular game
<a class="reference external" href="https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/">Kerbal Space Program</a></p>
<p><strong>kOS</strong> is an autopilot you script yourself. <strong>kOS</strong> is to
programming, what Kerbal Space Program itself is to rocket science.
You don’t have to know what you’re doing to get started, but
you may find yourself learning a lot by accident as you play
with it. And if you already know a lot about the topic, it will
still be able to hold your interest. <strong>kOS</strong> is meant to scale
with the skill level of the user. You can start off doing very
small simple things with it, and get more and more into using its
features as you go.</p>
</section>
<section id="what-it-does">
<h2>What it does<a class="headerlink" href="#what-it-does" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p><strong>kOS</strong> introduces a few new parts that each contain a simulated
computer capable of running programs written in its own scripting
language called <strong>kerboscript</strong>. The computer has powerful
smarts built in to the hardware that allow it to do complex
spacecraft operations in one command, thus making it possible to
make complex programs with only a few lines of script text.</p>
<p>The intent of <strong>kOS</strong> is to be a fully in-game item that lives
inside the Kerbal’s universe. The program isn’t running on
your own gaming computer, but rather it’s being run in a
virtual machine that is simulated in the underlying Unity engine.</p>
</section>
<section id="get-me-started">
<h2>Get me Started!<a class="headerlink" href="#get-me-started" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>There is a quickstart tutorial for people new to <strong>kOS</strong> that
gets you off the ground with a very simple launching script,
sufficient to be an introduction for people new to the mod.
<a class="reference internal" href="tutorials/quickstart.html#quickstart"><span class="std std-ref">Go ahead and give it a try</span></a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="installation">
<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Like other Kerbal Space Program mods, simply copy the contents
of the zip file into your Kerbal Space Program folder, where it
will install into your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GameData</span></code> folder.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="downloads_links.html#obtain"><span class="std std-ref">The mod is downloadable from a number of locations</span></a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="documentation">
<h2>Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#documentation" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>The page you are looking at right now is the entry point
into the full documentation of kOS. See the full table of
contents here: <a class="reference internal" href="contents.html#contents"><span class="std std-ref">Full Documentation</span></a>.</p>

<section id="online-community">
<h2>Online Community<a class="headerlink" href="#online-community" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="downloads_links.html#koscommunity"><span class="std std-ref">kOS has an active community</span></a> of users willing
to help each other with ideas and algorithms.</p>
</section>
<section id="history">
<h2>History<a class="headerlink" href="#history" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>kOS was originally begun as a mod by a single author, Kevin Laity aka Nivekk.
Although the project has undergone massive changes since then and now has
a very different underlying architecture and is under active development
by a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/orgs/KSP-KOS/people">different set of people</a>, none
of that would have been possible without his original vision and work.</p>
