International Mars Research Station
Purpose / Function
Architecture
The IMRS is a fourth generation modular orbital station, designed to mimic the simplistic modular structure of Mir. The station is partially asymmetrical due to the fluid mission parameters and objectives, with only one axis of symmetry down the x-axis. The station is thoroughly equipped with interlinked RCS to maintain or change orientation and orbital vector.
At the center of the station is the core nexus, which provides a six-way link to all sections of the main pressurized structure. All pressurized modules extend radially from the nexus:
- Fore - Core module (habitation) + Cargo module (with DSG shuttle slingshot)
- Aft - Secondary (short-range) shuttle port
- Starboard - Communications / Remote observation module
- Port - Materials processing / LSS module
- Zenith - Laboratory module + main airlock
- Nadir - Powerplant module
