 - **VAB Mission Tracker** by [munix](https://github.com/jan-bures) - Adds the Mission Tracker button to the VAB app tray.
 - **Disable Contrails** by [munix](https://github.com/jan-bures) - Disables contrails and wingtip vortices. Disabled by

 ## Installation
 ### Recommended
 1. Use [CKAN](https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/releases/latest) to download and install Kerbal Life Hacks.
