ExoMars TGO on Boson M rocket

The ExoMars TGO (Trace Gas Orbiter) is a real spacecraft launched in 2016 on board of a Proton-M/Briz-M rocket from Baikonur to Mars.

As of 2025 it is still in operation, doing science and serving as a communication relay satellite for martian rovers.

I built a fictional rocket, the Boson M, and put on top of it the real orbiter.
The orbiter (and the rocket) is not finished yet, mainly missing the RCS thrusters and some other details.
The Schiaparelli lander is just a placeholder, still in early construction.

Controls

--> Space tug

When manuevering with the space tug, keep an eye on the hemisphere fuel tank (right on top of the engine) level, when the percentage (or mass) of fuel starts to drop it is time to drop the external toroidal fuel tank set by pressing the stage button, I think it drains out of fuel when the whole stage indicates about 25% of fuel remaing.

--> TGO

Slider 2 to control solar panel pointing (rotation).
Slider 3 to rotate the high gain antenna.
Slider 4 to control the zoom of CaSSIS camera.
Better not to touch the slider 1, used to deploy the solar panels and the high gain antenna (deploy them by triggering the appropriate AGs, solar panels first and then the high gain antenna).

Real Solar System - RSS friendly and capable to deliver the orbiter to Mars from Earth

Changelog

Improved the space tug, now is similar to the Briz M. It has a jettisonable toroidal external fuel tank
