My design is basically a Space RV. It
would act as a transport ship to transport astronauts to Mars and then
act as living quarters on Mars. All systems onboard would be redundant.
It would be powered by 8 radioisotope thermoelectric generators which
I think is a highly reliable power source and would have a 2 meter
by 12 meter by 12 meter fuel tank for its rocket engine. The heat shield
would be easily replaceable to avoid stranding astronauts in space
or on Mars. Titanium plating on vital systems, airtight compartments
and window covers add to the crew‚s protection. Landing legs
would extend from the ship on landing.
