Mission Le Verrier

[8BitCosmonaut]

Slide 1

Horus Lupercal Poseidon Plan

Additional Info:
One more feature the laboratory module on Poseidon has is a state-of-the-art workshop equipped with the latest additive manufacturing machines, chemical synthesis booth and electronics assembly bench, allowing the crew to fabricate nearly any spare part they require for ship repair.

This comes in convenience with an EVA tube located on the same module which can support up to 2 EVA operators at once, this feature allows the crew to quickly fabricate the part and conveniently hand it to a pair of suited up engineers.

Since the ship is almost a kilometer long, the EVA crew will not be crawling their way all across, they will have a motorized puller that will pull the astronauts to any length of the ship they require to get a repair or inspection job done.

[8BitCosmonaut]

Part 5 : Delivering the crew unto Poseidon

1 - Launch of two Orion spacecrafts to Poseidon. (The inspection crew have been returned to the surface already, I forgot to take pictures of that, sorry.)



With all 12 crew members on board, we can rev up those fryers engines and depart Earth for Neptune.

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Part 6.1 : The Mission
