Ion Drive Mars Ship 3D Model

Highly detailed model of a theoretical manned spacecraft for travel to the Red Planet Mars. The model is based on recent work by NASA and other aerospace contractors on actual proposals on sending humans to Mars. Model features: 1. Bigelow Aerospace habitat module. 2. Solar Electric Ion Drive module with 3X concentric Hall Ion Drive Engines and heat radiators. 3. 2 x Mars landers based on the Mars Excursion Module developed by North American Aviation for NASA. 4. Logistics module based on existing modules of the International Space Station. 4. Modular propellant tanks Textures are supplied as 2048 and 1024 pixel PNG files. The Blender file includes materials and render settings for the internal Cycles render engine. An HDR image used to render the display shots is also included. The Mars images used in the space renders are supplied as 2400 pixel PNG files for use in compositing. The Photoshop file used for compositing with the renders is also included. By default, the Blend file has background transparency enabled for easy compositing of images. Images of Mars used for the renders kindly supplied by NASA/USGS.
