I was talking about the main propulsion.
Still about those pods, there are also as you said 4x "big thrusters" for roll, 4x "precision thrusters" (
correction, 8x of each, because it is necessary to make translation possible, and we can see them on the pic I posted below) also for roll, and 8x "precision thrusters" for braking.
On this image we can see that the 8x main retro thrusters ("big ones") are located on the capsule itself (
no in fact I see only 6 of them, weird. And BTW it would mean that only 4 (opposite pairs) of them are used (else you get torque). Also, it would mean that the CM and SM are connected by fuel lines, which seems a bit complex to me.).
There are also a set of thrusters located on the capsule itself. I have no idea if they can be used in combination with the SM thrusters. That's not the case on the Soyuz. I don't know much about Apollo, but AFAIK, it was roughly working the same way : SM thrusters for the most of the mission, then CM thrusters (and tanks) for reentry control.
BTW I found a pic that shows a completely different thruster configuration (but that makes more sense to me).
If you write for info, the most important right now would be to ask for :
- the specifications of the propulsion and attitude control thrusters (types, thrust, specific impulse).
- the quantity of LOX/Ethanol carried for the LES, and if it is going to be vented in orbit.
- the quantity of oxydizer/propellant carried in the SM, and in the CM for the reentry control.
- the planned dry mass of the SM and the CM (without crew, supplies, or fuel).
- and a
recent CST-100 render wouldn't hurt
I doubt we can get all that detailed information, but it never hurts to try
