A project designed in collaboration with OrionTechnologies, for the first HFT-1 launch. The probe features a kerolox transfer stage, the main bus and a reentry vehicle. It masses 3.24 tons, and is supposed to get to the Jupiter system using Venus and/or Mars gravity assists

@VonKaramanIndustries, ah, that’s a really cool idea! Okay, so just Odyssey, or Jupiter Odyssey, or something else?

@OrionTechnologies Oh, i've actually got an interesting idea. I don't know if you're familiar with Greek mythology, but if you are, you've probably heard about Homer. HFT-1 was held on the pad due to a lack of available payloads. And in Homer's opus, the Odyssey, Odysseus (aka Ulysses) was held hostage by a nymph Calypso - so, it might be cool to name the mission Odyssey, like the opus

@VonKaramanIndustries, okay, thanks! No worries about the patch. There will also be Rideshare payloads onboard HFT-1, but we will value yours as Priority 1. Would you like to call HFT-1 a different name, nodding to its main payload?

@OrionTechnologies Name may be Calypso, as a tribute to Jupiter's relations. There isn't a patch (sorry :(, im bad at art ), and the flight profile only involves leaving the SOI, and the probe will use gravity assists off earth and venus for a cruise time of about 10 years.

Thank you @VonKaramanIndustries! Our team has a few details that need to be addressed.
1: Is there a name for this spacecraft?
2: Is there a mission patch?
3: What is the specific flight profile and estimated cruise time?
The team here at Orion thanks you again for your effort in collaborating with us! HFT-1 will be lifting off NLT July 7.
@OrionTechnologies Yeah, Jupiter odyssey will work
