A modified version of the Astraeus launch vehicle with an upper stage designed to land crew on the surface of the moon and be reused by docking to stations/tankers, refueling and landing again.
The upper stage still runs on hydrolox FFSC engines with 20 main vacuum engines for transfers from LEO to a TLI trajectory and 10 lunar engines to be used for LLO insertion and landing.
If the vehicle is intended to stay on the lunar surface instead of being reused it can land straight away, if it needs to be reused it has to refuel in LLO first.
It uses a slightly smaller crew section, static solar panels and slightly smaller togglable panels from the Prometheus Lunar Lander.
It can take up to 337 crew members to the lunar surface and uses a standard docking port making it compatable for crew/propellant transfer with Prometheus, Blossom, Pegasus and almost all of our crew vehicles.
