1/144 Lockheed-Martin Mars Ascent/Descent Vehicle (2017) - Fantastic Plastic

Lockheed-Martin Mars Ascent/Descent Vehicle (2017) - Fantastic Plastic

In September 2017, Lockheed-Martin revealed its ambitious plans to send humans to Mars in the third decade of the 21st century. Part of this "Mars Base Camps" (MBC) project was a Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) descent/ascent vehicle that would take astronauts from the mother ship down to the Martian surface, then return them to the orbiting spacecraft.

Unlike competing Mars lander designs, this was a single-stage, highly aerodynamic vehicle that would use supersonic retroproplusion (similar to the SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket) to fly through the thin Martian atmosphere and then land vertically on the Red Planet's surface. At the conclusion of the scientific mission, the entire craft would return to orbit intact, leaving nothing behind.

Lockheed-Martin's plans called for two landers to be included on each Earth-to-Mars mission.

About the Design    
The Morrigan class is a small, light-weight ship designed by the MCRN Navy to serve as a torpedo or light destroyer/escort. Small enough to be carried in number aboard Donneger-class battleships, Morrigan-class ships are often equipped with stealth technology

Thirty-one meters long, these ships are armed with two Nariman Dynamics 40mm Point Defense Cannons (PDCs) and two torpedo bays. They lack a ventral PDC, which gives them a vulnerable "blind spot."

Morrigans normally carry a crew of eight, but can function with a skeleton crew of just three if required.

I haven't seen the Syfy Series 'the expanse' (yet), but I am a few books into the original novels and am liking them... In case your wondering the two schemes do follow the narrative of the books, with regard to its original Martian Navy ownership, before it is 'salvaged' and refitted by the Outer Planets Alliance....

1/144 Mars Gravity Probe 1 - Fantastic Plastic

1/144 Mars Gravity Probe 1 - Fantastic Plastic


The Mars Gravity Probe 1 (MGP-1) was the ill-fated manned interplanetary spacecraft that brought American astronauts Cmdr. Christopher "Kit" Draper (Paul Mantee) and Col. Dan McReady (Adam West) to the Red Planet in the 1964 sci-fi classic "Robinson Crusoe on Mars."

MGP-1 was an important step in cinematic spacecraft design as it was one of the first to incorporate design elements from actual NASA spacecraft then under development. These included four-nozzle Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, external fuel tanks and landing craft clear based on Project Gemini capsules.
