This is the 2025 Update to the Refuel Tanker in RichWall's Mars One Series. This ship has many critical enhancements useful to a successful mission and esthetics beyond the 2024 update.

1) Docking HUD and Rendezvous Hud has been added for an easier mission.

2) A Vizzy option for Launch and another for Launch Window to Target, then Launch.

3) A completely functional, New, and redesigned Docking system. Rotational position now counts to successfully Dock.

    @Aryabhata21 Much larger but still a Von Braun style booster. The main weakness of this whole mission is its size.

    This model is designed to fly and has all that is necessary to build a small base on Mars.
