ion scooter Mk2

[Nefrums]

Here is the "Ion scooter Mk2"

It comes complete with a radioactive seat warmer for the long cold nights in space.

It has decent TWR and a lot of dV.

The batteries enables it to do 900 dV burns, but takes over an hour to recharge.

This lite thing will play a crucial part in my planed Jool 5 low mass mission.

Nice! RTG as a power source, right?

[Nefrums]

Yes. You cant see it in the picture but there is one below the chair. It is node attached to the batteries in front and behind it, and then offset down to make room for the chair.

This is built to be able to fly around the Jool system where solar panels barely work.

Hey man, I love the idea of mini ion landers. I made a few myself. Is 900m/s enough though? Maybe add another xenon tank?

[Nefrums]

900 is on a single continuous burn, limited by the batteries. The xenon lasts for ~3.7 dV

Right ok. That's much better!

"Thought the cold outside is frightful, the RTG is so delightful, let it glow, let it glow, let it glow."

Just great!
