Presenting the Aether Cargo Vehicle!
The Aether is an orbital logistics vehicle built to deliver essential cargo and supplies to space stations. Designed for flexibility and reliability, it features a pressurized module to transport food, experiments, and equipment. Supporting long-term space operations, Aether plays a key role in keeping crews stocked and missions running smoothly.
Notes:
So I love the Cygnus Vehicle which sadly isn't used as much anymore and since I used to be the DSA (Fake nasa) I upload all old crafts under the Dsa anyway I'll likely make a few other versions too since I saw 2 variant renders both look really cool and I had a ton of fun making this! (BTW I am gonna try to make a rotary Solar Panel)

@OrionAerospaceTech ... with that one tiny engine, i saw renders of a version with 4 engines but probably thats fictional

@OrionAerospaceTech well cygnus XL is the 4 barrel one which flew multiple times theres even pictures but maybe theres a variant with more engines i mean i never saw anything on a XL just the 4 barell one and its annoying because you dont find alot a data on cygnus online.

Ok, did a little research: the first Cygnus(I think it flew twice) had twin, three-panel each square solar arrays, and a 2-barrels pressurized module. The next Cygnus, and the most flown, has 3 barrels and the UltraFlex rotary solar arrays. I can’t differentiate anything between this Cygnus and Cygnus XL. The XL has flown 3times to date, I think. But, Northrop Grumman has discussed utilizing an even larger Cygnus with 4 barrels!

@OrionAerospaceTech So it's always the same cygnus and basically the only thing that changes is the length of the Cargo Hull so that's 2 panels high 3 panels and 4 panels high. and all use rotary Solar panels( the smallest one only flew once they usually use the medium!)

@OrionAerospaceTech So this one is for the DSA but I'll make modern designs too

Also, there are 3 variants of Cygnus. I don’t know what each one is called, but the first one was really fat and had square solar panels. The next one was taller and had circular solar panels. And the last one(Cygnus XL) is even taller and has circular solar panels. And a rotary solar panels would be awesome. Good luck on that endeavor!

@AstrumY, um, I was kinda heading towards an ATV/Argo design with a smooth surface, but with a really cool paint job and some other features.

@OrionAerospaceTech Also this is a rip off cygnus so it's not my design at all😅

Cool design! Obsidian(Orbital Logistics Vehicle) is coming soon now that I have Eagle 5 out.

Oh yeah @CanadaDuck I tried your Null Vectors. It's Great! makes docking much easier
