"Kopernicus" Mars Transfer Vehicle Replica

[Ozymandias_the_Goat]

Hello all,

For some time,I have been toying with the Idea of a Constellation spacecraft, and have finally got some designs I like:

Ares V:

Three Ares V's were used to construct my Kopernicus, one transporting the habitat module, and two others transporting fuel.

Ares V second stage

 

Ares I:

A single Ares I transports the Orion crew capsule with three astronauts (I know, the real Orion would have carried six astronauts, but I could not make a good six-person model).

Ares I second stage

And the Orion crew capsule in orbit.

 

Kopernicus:

Here is the Kopernicus with the Orion radially docked in a 150 km orbit.It has three nuclear engines and a separable fuel tank in the middle, like the real planned spacecraft.

 

Thanks!

Would you share the craft file at KerbalX? Seems good.

I was considering to do so. probably will edit them a bit more. But yeah, I may get around to sharing them sooner or later.

I loves me some constellation craft! And these are great! 

 It's so satisfying isn't it?  Putting those parts together in orbit, knowing it looks like the real thing. 

 Any plans to make the two mars landers?

Probably not. Too much work, and I just don't want to invest the time. Besides, there are so many great packs out there representing countless hours of work that I just don't want to put in.

That's exactly how it felt!
