Ever since I have discovered the NASA trilogy by British author Stephen Baxter, I have thought of one day see an addon/fictitious scenarios that would take place in the world of Stephen Baxter. set in the second installment of the NASA Trilogy, Titan.
The following spacecraft in the novel appear as follows as they are recycled for several purposes:
* The Space Shuttle Atlantis is refitted to carry cargo into orbit (Shuttle-C)
* a restored Saturn V for construction of the main ship
* a heavily modified version of Discovery using the Shuttle OMS engines for chemical propulsion and powered by a TOPAZ nuclear reactor
* habitat modules from the mothballed International Space Station
* Apollo re-entry capsules used as Titan Landers
* Shuttle Endeavour (Shuttle Fleet 2016)
