Next generation crew capsule, artwork

Next generation crew capsule. Computer artwork showing a next generation Deep Space Vehicles (DSV) crew capsule (centre right) mated with an Extended Stay Module (ESM, centre) and a Manned Manoeuvring Vehicle (MMV) docking station (left). The DSV crew capsule, or Command Module, will be similar to the Apollo Command Module in shape, however it will be larger, with enough room for as many as six astronauts and be capable of missions in excess of Apollos 14 day limit. For longer missions it could be mated with an ESM to provide additional life support and accommodation for a crew of three or four, for deep space missions lasting 90 days or longer. The MMV docking station could carry two MMVs that would allow astronauts to explore asteroids and other

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the next generation crew capsule, a remarkable advancement in space exploration. In this computer-generated image, we witness the fusion of cutting-edge technology and human ingenuity as the Deep Space Vehicles (DSV) crew capsule takes center stage. Resembling its predecessor, the Apollo Command Module, this upgraded version is larger and can accommodate up to six astronauts for missions surpassing Apollo's 14-day limit. To extend their stay even further into deep space, the DSV crew capsule seamlessly connects with an Extended Stay Module (ESM), providing additional life support systems and accommodations for a crew of three or four. This revolutionary combination allows for extraordinary expeditions lasting 90 days or more. On the left side of the composition stands a Manned Manoeuvring Vehicle (MMV) docking station. With two MMVs at its disposal, astronauts can venture out to explore asteroids and other celestial bodies within our solar system. Set against a striking black background punctuated by Earth's presence in the distance, this artwork represents humanity's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries beyond our home planet. It symbolizes progress in astronautical engineering and serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring illustration created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that our dreams of venturing deeper into space are not merely fantasies but tangible goals waiting to be realized through scientific innovation and determination.
