Mothership
A future long-duration transportation and logistics platform intended to carry mission systems, supplies, vehicles, and infrastructure between major operating regions.
DEVOWER / Program 02
Different missions require different machines.
DEVOWER is developing a modular spacecraft architecture that separates long-duration transportation, focused research missions, and mission-specific propulsion into clear system roles.
Research Craft
Smaller vehicles intended to leave the primary transport platform or Ganymede hub, gather scientific and engineering data, and return or relay that evidence.
Propulsion Modules
Modular propulsion units intended to support launch, maneuvering, transportation, or mission-specific requirements without forcing one vehicle to perform every role.
Shared Vehicle Systems
Interfaces determine whether the architecture works.
Each vehicle is being considered as part of a connected logistics and research system rather than as an isolated craft.
Propulsion Integration
Chemical and electric propulsion selected around mission phase, available power, mass, duration, and serviceability.
Docking and Servicing
Interfaces for vehicle transfer, inspection, replenishment, module exchange, and future Ganymede operations.
Guidance and Control
Navigation, autonomy, sensing, and control architectures for vehicles operating far from immediate Earth support.
Power Systems
Generation, storage, distribution, and power-processing requirements tied directly to propulsion and mission operations.
Thermal and Radiation
Vehicle protection and heat-management concepts evaluated against long-duration Jovian operating conditions.
Communications and Data
Mission data paths connecting research craft, the Ganymede operating center, transport systems, and Earth.
Program Boundary
Mission roles first. Configuration follows evidence.
The public architecture defines intended vehicle responsibilities and interfaces. Configurations will evolve as propulsion, environment, mass, thermal, and operations requirements become better defined.
Connected Architecture
No program operates alone.
See how propulsion, spacecraft, planetary infrastructure, resources, and energy develop into one mission architecture.
