Description
1:Dawn 2:Twitch 3:panels 4:ladder 9:cut chutes 0:gimbals
An ion conveyance* for interplanetary transport named Ion Maiden.
Comes mounted atop a Zephyr, which can be refueled in LKO before departure to be used as an injection booster.
Features creature comforts for the long-term confinement(oops) of 16 Kerbals. The craft may be gently spun up around the longitudinal axis to induce quasi-gravity for the benefit of the bone marrow.
Ambidirectional thrust is provided by the primary Dawn ion drives installed at one end and the reasonably-efficient but nevertheless immediate Twitches at the other. Handy for arresting motion just prior to dock – or for landing on Minmus!
