Description

This is an independent crew vehicle I put together to go with my Mars Nuclear Thermal Rocket, This is based on a proposed Russian design for an advanced capsule, (a large one with thermal tiles, like a shuttle). This is attached to a European ATV style propulsion unit, with 2 more solar panels (to give extra electrical power out at Mars). The background images are from NASA.

Although I really like the image and it works very well as is. . . I think I might have put a star field where the pure black is now. Just a thought. . . Have a great turkey day.

Thanks Greywolf - I did consider it, but with this image I am shooting for realism, and you would not be able to see stars with a big bright Earth so close. You are right though, it would be pretty!
