Mars Pathfinder
This is the Mars Pathfinder, inspiration has been taken from the Hermes from the film "The Martian". It has many solar panels and an radioisotope thermo-electric generator (RTG) and a spacecraft nuclear reactor to provide power and thrust by means of a Plasma Propulsion Engine. There are 4 pods on arms that rotate about the spacecraft to provide areas that simulate some form of gravity. These pods are used for habitation, lab space or storage or just about any other purpose required by the mission or crew. It also has two transport shuttles, Mosquito & Lancaster, which allow for planetary landing missions and can return to the Mars Pathfinder when needed. These transport shuttles can ferry personnel, stores, habitation modules or science packages to the martian surface. Normally they carry a rover to allow the Mars Pathfinders crew means of transportation on the Martian surface.
