Materials Test Turnaround for LTS-SM

time3 yr agoview3 views

The Lunar Transportation System (LTS) is the workhorse spacecraft of the Lunar exploration era in "Lunatics!"

In service since the early 2030s, this spacecraft provides the primary means of supply and crew-transfers for several different entities including NASA, the US Air Force, ESA, RosCosmos, and several corporate operations which maintain large or small stations on the Moon by 2040. So of course it is also how our settlers get to their new home.

The LTS Service Module is an unmanned spacecraft that provides the primary propulsion for the flight as well as providing a lot of secondary services, including in-flight refueling of the Lander. The fuel tanks are disposable elements brought up by tanker flights from Earth, while the rest of the craft is reusable (you'll notice that the tanks are shiny and new while other parts of the spacecraft show some wear).

This model was created by Chris Kuhn based on designs by Terry Hancock (me). Now that I've added materials and textures, this is pretty much how the spacecraft will look in our final production.

As with other elements of the production, we are not attempting to produce a truly photoreal appearance.
