There are an additional five major components left to discuss to complete Phase I. These facilities will be constructed next to the RV Manufacturing plant.
- Intelligence Module Factory
- Orbital Vehicle Factory
- Cislunar Vehicle Factory
- Crew Module Factory
- Service Facilities
1. INTELLIGENCE MODULE FACTORY
This manufacturing plant will produce the IMs for all of our space vehicles. The factory will create an IM core that can be modified to fit any spacecraft.
The IMs used in the OV, PM, LV, and UV are identical. The first three IMs listed will be transferred to the Orbital Vehicle Factory.
The other IM listed will have an airlock system installed to become a UV.
Other IMs will be modified to fly as a CV and sent to the CV Factory.
- The RCS facing a CV Saddlebag will not be installed.
- The RCS facing the CV Core will not be installed as well. The Propellant Input Docking Collar opposite the disabled RCS will be replaced with a Propellant Output Docking Collar.
2. ORBITAL VEHICLE FACTORY
This manufacturing plant will produce the OV, PM, and LV. The factory will create an OV Core that can be modified to become any vehicle. The factory will receive the same IMs indefinitely.
To assemble an OV, simply attach a rocket engine. To assemble a PM, attach a Propellant Output Docking Collar. To assemble an LV, attach a rocket engine without the nozzle extender.
3. CISLUNAR VEHICLE FACTORY
This manufacturing plant will produce the CV. The CV Core is an OV with roughly double the propellant capacity and two rocket engines instead of one. The CV Saddlebag is a CV Core without the rocket engines.
4. CREW MODULE FACTORY
We need two kinds of single–level CMs for Phase I operations; specifically, the CM1_4–4–38 and the CM1_4–4–22 variants, which means a one–level crew module with four astronauts and four spacesuits on a space mission that lasts 38 days and 22 days, respectively.
The Emergency Airlock and the Garage will be assembled in this facility.
5. SERVICE FACILITIES
We will need three additional facilities to complete Phase 1 Operations.
- Firefighting
- Hospital
- Landfill
Firefighting will look similar to any major airport firefighting team and their equipment.
The hospital will be a typical facility, including a surgical unit and rooftop helipad.
The landfill is the only component that will be difficult to run "green." We will try to be good stewards of the land and minimize the environmental impact.
