Ion Hopper
An all-stock manned ionic craft.
The ion stage brings over 8000dV in a package suitable for exploration of multiple sites across the solar system and the moons Gilly, Ike, Minmus and even Mun (with a minimum thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.2).
Includes the five basic radial science experiments within easy reach of the pod door. Computer guidance allows command by a scientist to maximize the use of the mystery goo.
A junior docking port is included for refueling operations.
Not recommended for atmospheric flight of any kind.
Not recommended for any Joolian-system operations, as solar exposure there is insufficient to power the ion engines.
Docking operations must take into account that this craft has no RCS ports.
The middle stage includes an OKTO2 probe core and an HG-5 antenna to allow for deorbiting or relay operations after an initial orbit is reached.
