You all have probably heard of NASA's Constellation Mars mission, but this time we're going for Saturn's moons.
This is a very long and realistic mission, basically it will go on for multiple posts, get comfy. I've done the same in my KSP realism overhaul playthrough ages ago and decided to do the same here for fun.
Below here is a compilation of images which detail the process of assembling the mothership that will be carrying both crew and cargo to Saturn. L/V's used are the SLS and Delta IV Heavy since this is a pure NASA mission.
1) Mothership main fuel tank launch
2) TSI side tanks launch (Each tank half full)
Now with the main fuel tanks launched and assembled, see below for the rest of the mission!
Thanks to Altaïr for the delta velocity calculations, and special guest Hideo Kojima.
