Description

ISS is back to Low Earth Orbit, waiting to refuel and load new boosters at the International Space Station. The trip to Mars has been made in just 5 months, a record until now, but a new nuclear plasma engine, more powerful, should made in possible to do it in 3, possibly 2 months when Mars is in favorable postion relative to Earth, which hapen every 2 years and a half. Also, engineers have decided to keep the huge frontal shield, initially design to sustain aerobraking, as a solar radiation shield.

I don't take the credit for the International Space Station, it is given whith any copy of LW, free of use, same for the Earth background. But the ISS Explorer (ISS for International Space Ship)has been made by me.
