It apeara like there’s one on the nose.

So what would the mission be? It departs the EML2, flies to Mars, enters orbit around Diemos, departs, breaks back into EML2?

I can see it requiring a “Taxi” to take crew from high mars orbit down to a lander in LMO.

Still it’s a cool design. I wonder if it would work with regular Ion engines or even Methalox or regular storable propellant.

>Mfw it still requires several SLS launches to refuel

Pic related is what I think is a better design. It’s smaller but it only needs 6 EELV launches to Resupply (or one SLS, but that shits expensive). It can take a crew of four to mars and back, and it pretty light (37 tons dry).
