The JMR's new tanker is here.
The T-1500 Jötunn from the Dreadnought Logistics Design Bureau is the winning design of the New Rugged Tanker program.
It has 6 huge removable propellant tanks built to handle anything from cryogens to hypergols. They are interchangeable with those of our Strategic Propellant Depots allowing quick and easy propellant transfers.
The T-1500 also has two compartments for transferring people or solid cargo. Artificial gravity is generated by spinning along the middle wire.
Its engine section at the back is powered by nuclear thermal rockets able to be used with many different kinds of propellant allowing more flexibility for mission planning.
The Jötunn's computers are several linked BNC-900s, each handling its own duties over the spacecraft's systems. Less complicated computers are easier to manufacture, train and maintain and though it lowers the spacecraft's ability to recover from failures on its own compared to an ANC, it is still more than capable of most autonomous operations.
The T-1500 Jötunn will be available for export in half of a Jupiter year.
