The ESS Explorer CDSV or Explorer is a ship with a long interplanetary range, the ship is made up of 2 stages, the booster "Hercules Booster" and the "ESS Explorer CDSV" the explorer does not have the ability to dock so it has 3 side capsules with capacity for 2 droods that are used for maintenance missions, docking with other ships, rescue missions or landing on celestial bodies such as asteroids, comets or very low gravity moons.
The Explorer has a large capacity of droods, but preferably a maximum of 4 for long-range interplanetary expeditions.
It is launched from celestial bodies with very thin atmospheres or without an atmosphere.
The design of the Explorer was based on the Cepheus ship from the film Ad Astra (2019).

For those who ask, why is the craft separated? Well, it was a publishing error. I published it quickly without realizing it bruuuh
Just close the solar panels and the hercules booster with the parts moving tool and put it connected to the bottom of the explorer.
