*Proposed vehicles ( DGIV, XR2 ) -pending use
−
This vehicle has a mass of 26000kg, and is able to carry up to four passengers at a time, as well as two cargoes. Its maximum speed is roughly 50km/h, which meets the needs required by the mission. It also runs on electric power, so it need not draw directly from fuel production and/or fuel supplies from other vehicles.

These smaller vessels will be used as exploration vehicles that will allow ground crew astronauts explore a much larger radius of Mars.

This vehicle would be used for longer ranged missions on Mars, which cannot be accomplished efficiently using the UCGO Azure. It will be confirmed or rejected once its viability on the Martian surface is determined.

+
Currently UMMU destabilizes at any simulated year past ~2040. In consequence, this project is required to start within recent time frames (ie 2010 - 2015) so that the project can progress for a while. Many OF members dispute the technological advances between these years, as the Arrow is considered slightly above our technological capability for the next several decades. As it is, there are no vessels currently operating within Orbiter, so for now unless several someones creates a more realistic vessel capable of the job, we have to stick with what we have.

'''Fuel considerations'''

+
:update:
 +
Arrow is looking like it will be retired before even built, so we wont have to worry about this.
  
 +
In the case of the Arrow, the fuel tanks are so large on the Arrow that it would take a few hundred launches just to fuel the Arrow. To help speed up time and to prevent boredom, the Arrows engines will be modified so that they are capable of lifting itself down to Mars to refuel and back up to LMO with a payload. If the Arrow wasn't used for this purpose and a more realistic reusable vessel was created, less fuel may be required causing less launches and possibly the removal of 'fuel' manufacturing.

Some of the systems required by this project haven't been implemented yet. In consequence, there are several parts that need to be developed before we get too far into the mission.

The mining and propellant creation is vital to this missions survival, otherwise vessels on Mars will have to carry all their propellant from Earth, and can only use it sparingly.

==General Information==
+
* '''Developer: [empty]''' Cargo creation
−
 
+
From the manufacturing of materials, there will need to be UCGO cargo with the proper textures of its contents. Since there is a vast amount of elements, many textures will have to be made.

* '''Developer: [empty]''' Sampler
−
 
+
Since it would be rather difficult to drag the actual drill around to find deposits (especially when that drill is in use), a vehicle capable of taking samples from the ground and analyzing it for its contents needs to be created to assist ground exploration. This will need to use the SDK that will be provided from the Mining module.
