Scientific paper
A preliminary design has been developed for a manned mission to the Mars moon Phobos. The spacecraft carries a crew of five and is launched from LEO in the year 2010. The outbound trajectory to Mars uses a gravitational assisted swing by of Venus and takes eight months to complete. The stay at Phobos is 60 days at which time the crew is busily engaged in setting up a prototype fuel processing facility. The vehicle will then return to Earth orbit after a total mission duration of 656 days. The spacecraft is powered by three nuclear thermal rockets which also provide the primary electrical power via dual mode operation. The overall spacecraft length is 110 m and the total mass departing from low Earth orbit is 900 metric tons.
