An economic passenger spin liner with an Earth-Mars travel time of five weeks - to fulfil the role of the Meizi interplanetary liner using 4th edition design rules.
It is built on a 10,000 ton (SM +10) unstreamlined hull, Length 75 yards, Diameter 35 yards. Design: Front Hull (0.2G spin gravity) [1] Metallic Laminate Armor dDR 20 [2-6] Habitat (128 cabins, 60 luxury cabins, 120 nanostasis capsules, 1 office, 1 briefing room, 8 establishments: [2 gym, 2 casino, 2 restaurant, 2 shops], 3 bed sickbay with one automed, 5 tons steerage cargo) [core] Control Room (Complexity 7, Comm/sensor 8) Central Hull [1-6] Fuel Tank (each: 500 tons hydrogen, 16.8 mps) [core] Cargo (500 tons) Rear Hull [1-3] Fusion Rocket (0.015G/151.2 mps) [4-6] Fuel Tank (each: 500 tons hydrogen, 16.8 mps) TL Spacecraft dST/HP Hnd/SR HT Move LWt. Load SM Occ dDR Range M$ PILOTING/TL10 (Low-Performance Spacecraft) 9 Norn spin-liner 150 -4/5 13 0.015G/151.2 mps 10,000 554.6[1] +10 376ASV 20/0/0 408.1 [1] Includes 120 individuals in suspended animation. Cruising Velocity 0.07 AU/day, Burn Endurance 19 days. Example Trip Time: Earth-Mars (median distance 1.8 AU) = 35 days Economics: Advance ticket price: - Standard passenger (2 per cabin): $36K - Luxury Passenger (2 per cabin): $72K - Nanostasis passengers $26K (includes medical fees) - Cargo: $7K per ton. Design note: There are no spin pods in the basic G:Spaceships so a 0.2G spinning hull is presented here.
