My lunar transfer vehicle
This is my lunar transfer vehicle, I named it "Ioannina" after a Greek name, idk it looked cute to me. It is currently carrying a lander and a surface base module as payload, to begin with the colonization of the moon!
It's using the mod "Hopiter's nuclear engines" powered by two Thorium Engines (they're actually powered by Uranium but that's the name of the engines in game) and heat dissipation is managed by two radiator arrays.
With a TWR less than 1 it doesn't have apocalyptic thrust but it does have scrumptious amounts of efficiency, capable of at least two round trips carrying more than 200 tonnes of payload (as far as I have tested it) bound for Earth-Moon environment, ts is basically the peak of nuclear spacecraft for manned missions.
I like to keep my designs as grounded as possible and not over-design them, I hate seeing those builds of spacecraft with tons of unnecessary "decoration" which at the end just takes away all the ∆v, my focus is always usefulness, but I also focus on doing a nice design.
