Hi bdfd
Enjoying this story.
I am curious to know if you have the "Upper Dome", viewed in 1 of your earlier images, as a .obj.

In the little morning, the second hardware module is on Mars. [:)]


1920 x 1080 in Q4 with R1.3.1

The guide was good, it landed near the first... [B-)]

During this time ISV Mercury* arrived in martian orbit.
No one is on board, everything is automatic. [:)]

It brings two big boxes of materials. [;)]

(*) Hermes (human) = Mercury (hardware) [:))]

The first cargo begins its descent...

4 parachutes are necessary because the cargo contains heavy equipment.
The two hardware modules are not far.

The heat shield is not far (it will be recovered later), when the air bag hits the ground,
four cables are run to the ground to stabilize the cargo while the air bag deflates slowly...

The second cargo arrives...

All equipment is on Mars. [:)]

Final checks and habitation module will be ready to go... [B-)]

This is very cool and awesome, especially with the news I've been hearing about Elon Musk looking to try to start colonization of Mars in just a few short years. [:)] I hope what he has in mind is as fascinating as what you've come up with... but I really doubt that.

[bdfd]

Thanks Aeowyn. [:)]

Yes, Elon wants to go to Mars but no come back !!! [:((]

Asks M Columbus discovered America without returning to Spain.
Especially there was no radio in 1492 BC !!! [:))]

Habitation module leaves hermes...

This module is important to leave on Mars.


1024 x 768 in Q4 without R1.3.1

This v2 needs 4 parachutes.
It must support women and men to build the permanent base...

[bdfd]

Parachutes are go and two engines are ON.
They use mixing methane/Oxygen (CH4/O2) like a good old gas stove... [:))]

Slowly, the ground approachs.

Mars is OK for the module habitation ! [:)]

Next step : humans.
