Description
Titan Surface EVA
This is an on-going series. See Mars terraforming image links below.
Crew disembark onto the surface of Titan beneath the looming bulk of the 10K ton 200 foot diameter Crew Vehicle.Beyond the space suited figures the Nitrogen/Methane and H20 recovery operation working rig and production site is visible in the middle distance.
Uploaded by popular request: A good friend suggested I post this full size -- it is the full scale render of the lower image in the two-up set of images I posted yesterday. Titan CV Main Airlock Deck & Surface EVA The two-up format served its purpose (to complete the cycle from EVA preparation to crew stepping onto Titan’s surface) but image size constraints forced me to post at a reduced size and resolution – it was suggested that this image was worth the full size view.
At this scale some details of the Crew Vehicle model are more clearly visible. For example you can see, on the outer rim of the connective node (the gold foil walled hollow cylinder within which the terminus of the equipment elevator shaft is visible) the socket & grab-bar mounting recesses which receive the grappling mechanism required to lock the two spacecraft together when the Crew Vehicle is docked to the Interplanetary Orion stage.
Model Credits:
Space suit is a Google SketchUp 3DS model of the NASA Mk III suit design created by Max Grueter.
Some greeble-packs used in construction of the production rig:
Greeble Series 1-10 Created by Paul F. Hymen
Ozylot's Greeble Pack V1.0 Created by Carl Fredsberg
All other models are my own constructed in Bryce 6.3 and rendered in Bryce 7 Pro.
As always thank you for your interest, thoughtful comments, and encouragement.

Love this....wonderful POV and render
grafikeer
Great POV and modelling...like the terrain texture too!
geirla
Nice. I like how the reflectivity makes the surface look wet. Even it it's probably methane or ethane and not water...

Fantastic image and lighting. Awesome modeling. Corrie

P-E-R-F-E-C-T. 5+! I thank you a lot for this one.

Too cool, I like the POV.

Worth seeing the full sized image.

superb!

silly question, but shouldn't there be damage to the ground surface from the blast of the rockets. as this is a disembark scene, that would imply that the rocket has landed... minor thing in an otherwise stellar image..(as indicated a preference for comments Both critical and non-critical are welcomed)

Hi 1358, The visible surface in the image is covered with cracks and melt channels where material liquefied and ran before refreezing ... Titan's Surface temperature is about 94 K (−179 °C, or −290 °F) and darkened by organic compounds -- the Huygens team likened it's appearance to "an asphalt parking lot seen at dusk." You expect ... what?
