HOPE VASIMR Human Outer Planet Exploration Vehicle
HOPE VASIMR Advanced Plasma Propulsion Piloted Vehicle
Based on the concept vehicle designs presented by the NASA RASC (Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts) team in 2003.
A somewhat dated design from the early 2000’s - perhaps not as “sexy“ as the Nautilus-X MMSEV which was conceived nearly a decade later, but still well worth a look in my opinion!
