Helios DSV

ROADMAP

The crewed cruiser to Mars.

A nuclear-electric interplanetary cruiser for crewed, Mars-class transit.

// OVERVIEW

The Helios DSV is the catalog's deep-space flagship: a nuclear-electric cruiser sized for crewed transit from cislunar space to Mars and back, reusable as a cycler across multiple windows.

Megawatt-class nuclear-electric power gives it the continuous thrust and life-support margin for long-duration crews far beyond the reach of solar electric.
