MSVAs Sketchy progress

 The space vehicle sketching continues.


Project: Hail Mary provided a ton of inspiration—mostly for the multi-rod form. For MSVAs, this sets the expectation that vehicles are built on open frames, usually a longish stem to which vehicle components connect. 




I think this applies more to bigger vehicles than to the small rigs, but it is a reasonable ground rule.





I'm going to keep sketching over the weekend, then I'll start breaking components down to see how they might apply across lots of vehicles. There needs to be a range of options for each component type -- not a single type of vernier thruster, but maybe two or three in each of the three classes (small,medium,large). That's what I think at the moment.
