LandingPropulsive return

Mars Aerospace — Crew Vehicle

BM4

Crewed · Expendable Booster · ~50% Capsule Recovery

Media

Overview

Advanced Crew Transportation System

BM4 uses an expendable booster (not reusable) but features a crew capsule with approximately 50% recovery and reuse capability. The powerful multi-engine cluster and wide fin arrangement provide exceptional stability. Its robust escape system ensures crew safety from launch pad to orbit.

Mission Purpose

Crew Transport

Designed for astronauts and mission specialists to orbital stations, research platforms, and exploration destinations.

Mars Aerospace — Deep Space Probe

Discovery

Deep Space · Scientific · Long Duration

Media

Overview

Long-Duration Deep Space Science Mission

Discovery is Mars Aerospace's flagship deep space exploration probe. Designed to journey far beyond Earth orbit, it conducts extended science operations in the outer solar system. Powered by large solar arrays and equipped with a comprehensive instrument suite, it survives harsh deep space conditions for years.

Mission Purpose

Scientific Exploration

Studying planetary bodies, measuring radiation environments, and capturing high-resolution imagery of distant targets.

Specifications

TypeDeep space probe
PowerSolar array
CommsHigh-gain antenna
DurationMulti-year
