Kvasir LRMP Mk II - Long Range Mission Platform

segaprophet · August 29, 2013

Supersonic Labs is proud to announce the immediate release of Kvasir LRMP Mk II, the newest member in our family of interplanetary manned mission platforms.

The Long Range Mission Platform continues to push new technological boundaries in the exploration of the Kerbol system, supporing a wide range of scientific applications and transporting a full team of Kerbalnauts within interplanetary space before returning them safely home. The LRMP integrates dedicated science, engineering, habitation, command and lander modules.

The LRMP supports a full orbital science lab within the integrated Karmony Mk III node, as well as spacious living quarters within the integrated G-Hab Mk I module. Four Communotron 16 and two Communotron 88-88 units comprise the LRMP redundant communications array, which can be further augmented by the onboard SSL Cicada RSAT-IV probe. Propelled by the potent MPSS NERVA engine, Kvasir LRMP Mk II carries up to 4500l of liquid fuel and 940 units of monopropellant into interplanetary space. Four massive MPSS solar panels charge multiple onboard battery banks.

Kvasir LRMP Mk II is engineering to be almost completely reusable. Upon returning from interplanetary space, the command pod with attached lander module are decoupled from the LRMP and are deorbited using the lander engine. The crew decouples the lander module and heads for a safe splashdown in the command pod. The Kvasir PCRM Mk II (Platform Command and Resupply Module) is launched carrying a fresh crew and enough liquid fuel and monopropellant to fully refuel the orbiting LRMP. After refueling is complete, the PCRM propellant module is jettisoned ; Kvasir LRMP Mk II is ready for a new mission.
