SPECTRUM CRAFT
|
|||||||||||||||
Spectrum has its own dedicated space shuttle when longer haul transportation is required, or to liaise with its Moon and Mars bases. The Spectrum Space Shuttle is a hybrid of the International Space Agency’s (ISA) IPTS and HY-OX shuttle models and is launched directly from ISA bases as needed. Its NERVE thermodynamic nuclear rocket engines allows it to cover the Earth to Mars journey in approximately 14 days, with a minimal crew of two astronauts, but it can easily carry a crew of ten. Its hold is used to carry supplies or exploration equipment and can accommodate a Bison rover vehicle. Once the shuttle arrives at its intended destination, the propulsion unit remains in orbit, while the detachable excursion vehicle at the front takes over and completes the descent to the surface.
