VASIMRVariable Specific Impulse Magnetic Rocket
This type of engine uses EM waves to propel hot gas. It can provide either high ISP and low thrust, or vice versa. This will enhance the versatility of the craft. |
RTGThis Radio Electric Thermal Generator
will be on-board the craft and aid in the powering of critical systems (due to the high reliability) such as life support. The reliability of this device is countered by its potential for danger and low power production. It can be jettisoned if needed. |
Inflatable habitation moduleThis inflatable habitation module will provide additional living space and storage to the crew. However it will not be provided with any gravity emulation
It is manufactured by Bigelow Aerospace and will be placed far from the RTG and the engines. It will also serve as a sort of life-boat, as it has its own dedicated life support. |
