Vessel Development

The ISDC is applying scientific theory , research and captured alien technology to implement the technology needed to launch a deep-space capable vessel

The diagram provides an overview of the systems (dark blue) that will be delivered and their interactions with each other and their operating environment (grey).

Exercise: The Twin Dilemma

This exercise assessment describes the experience of participants tackling a Tactical Operating Environment (TOE) training simulation using basic EMDAR techniques. The assessement is presented as a series of ‘snapshots’ at key moments in the exercise.

System Delivery Forecast

This forecast outline sthe relative priority for delivering vessel systems for active crew engagement, which includes training, simulated operations and pre-launch crew rating.

Vessel systems are considered to have been delivered when sufficient simulation work has been completed to accurately reflect system performance for training purposes and physical construction of the system is underway.

Crew Structure

The size of the vessel’s crew is a critical element in the vessel’s design. Crew numbers and structure will need to be sufficient for achieving mission goals (including scientific and diplomatic), maintaining vessel operation and supporting the crew. This draft proposal is intended to provide guidance on expected crew disposition.

System Design Insights: Radial Monitor

Being able to assess the status of a system at a glance is vital for managing the complex systems aboard Endeavour. While most core functions are automated, there’s still a lot for the crew to keep an eye on.

Vessel Development Program

The ISDC’s Vessel Development Program is responsible for sourcing, prototyping and implementing the technology required to launch a deep-space capable vessel. This requires taking scientific theory and making it reality through the application of research and captured alien technology.

Vessel Design Principles

These design principles for ship construction have been issued by the ISDC's Naval Architecture Group. They outline the requirements and objectives that the completed vessel will be expected to fulfill.
