Interplanetary Carrier Vessel 2014-02-13

ICV.jpg



The Interplanetary Carrier Vessel (ICV) is a long range, high endurance spacecraft
designed for travel from Earth and Mars to Jupiter and the Outer Planets.
 
It is capable of acting as a stand-alone vessel for orbital operations or as a crew
habitat, propulsion system and resource bank for use in transporting lander craft to the
Outer Planet moons for orbit-to-surface operations.
 
It was specifically designed to be able to transport an XR2 Ravenstar (in Expert
configuration) to the Outer Planets with a normal complement of six crew. It would be
used for surface launch and rendezvous with the ICV in Earth orbit and then for deorbit
and landing at bases on the Outer Planet moons, including Titan.
 
Any lander craft may be used depending on mission requirements.
 
The ICV engine performance has been configured to be appropriately similar to the Expert configuration of the XR vessels. This way it is assumed that all the vessels have a similar technology level.

To run all of the scenarios requires these additional add-ons:

You will also require a base to land on at your destination, many of which can be found on Orbit Hangar.
