The Phoenix 4 will be a very big crew capsule with a full interior. It will be launched on the Sparrow 3 (still in development). It is intended for deep space missions and large crew missions to LDO.
Features
- at least 6 droonauts can be carried into deep space with plenty of room to move around and be comfortable. I am hoping for at least 10 to LDO.
- full interior with windows, a hatch, seats, a control panel, and more.
- abort engines that can also be used as engines once in orbit
- landing gear and parachutes so it can land on ground, and I will try to make it float so it can also splashdown in water.
- a docking system that allows astronauts to pass through docking ports(this is based off of a way that @Tweedle_Aerospace did it. Also, I will post the docking port separately so people can add it to their space stations), and the ability to also dock to a normal docking port.
- hopefully enough range to get to lunar orbit and back
- If it does not have enough range for cylero orbit and back, or a lunar landing and back, I will release a non-reusable Sparrow 3 for extra range.
@Tweedle_Aerospace I am trying to design a system that does not use a docking port at all, but there is a good chance it will not work.
