The Selene Crew uses the Elysium spacecraft from the cancelled Arcas rocket (which was initially intended to be the second rocket used in the Iris program but was cancelled due to low cost efficiency) mounted on a Selene MLV.
The first stage uses 2 Triton H-1 hydrolox gas generator engines and the upper stage uses a single Iris H-1V hydrolox electric pump-fed engine. The rocket also uses 2 Hawk 793 SRBs.
The Elysium Spacecraft is made of 2 modules: The Aether Crew Capsule and the Persephone Service Module.
The Service module uses 4 hypergolic Hermes Vacuum Thrusters, 8 hypergolic Helios RCS Thrusters for in-space propulsion, and 4 hypergolic Cerberus Motors for its LES system. The service module also has 8 static solar panels, 4 side-mounted 3.35kWh batteries and 4 additional tanks that can be used to store propellant or other spacecraft consumables.
The Aether Crew Capsule can hold up to 4 astronauts and can be configured for specific mission requirements. The heat shield can be made heavier or lighter depending on the entry speeds and the craft can use either 3 or 4 parachutes depending on redundancy and landing speed requirements
