2040 : Mars Two

[bdfd]

DAY 002

The pair Earth-Moon is far away...

The initial thrust made by the H2 / O2 is completed and ISV Hermes rocked on ion propulsion.
Its speed is of 21,000 km per h.



Now, you can see (with good eyes [:)] ) that the ISV Hermes is equipped with technical structures, 4 radiators, 2 Canadian arms
and two observation domes.
It is not finished...

The crew checked all systems of ISV Hermes (you can see a MMU in front of the Habitation Wheel), MRV, Habmod and Matmod.
Some do gardening. [:)]

DAY 090

Our earth is a little bright point.
Red planet is at half way.



You see that living room is equipped with 'large Windows'.

eg Gardens room had well changed.

Vegetables are bio !

A Journey of three months, it's not short, even with a future tehnology.
We have some time for lot of long projects.
Crew repeats his missions.

Here are closer views :


MMU makes his inspection tour, beginning with the front of the ship.


Brake motors being validated, MMU control the controls of attitude.


Direction the upper radiators... oh the MMU has a visitor, a crew member is in the upper dome.


Same thing with the lower radiators, MMU in the shadow of MRV should light his lamp and sees a woman crew in the lower dome.
Oh my god it upside down... [:))]

Your talents know no bounds, even the lack of oxegen in the air does not stop you.
Love the hydro units. [:D]

Space... THE final frontier... [:))]

Seriously, I've updated the ISV hermes by reversing the solar panels with the antennas.
This allows better guide for bigger energy. (see conjunction scenario) [:)]
When you look at ISV Hermes by the bridge, right antenna is pointed on Mars and left antenna on Earth.



DAY 135



Crew sees Mars which grows in black space...
Ion propulsion will stop, hermes has to brake.
