The Elligius MK2 Capsule is AstroAerospace's next gen heavy capsule consisting of 3 different levels capable of carrying 6-15 crew members and up to a significant amount of cargo from and back to earth depending on the capsules configuration.
What is a "heavy" capsule?
•Similar to the different classifications of launch vehicles, AAST has developed a new classification of spacecraft for both crewed and cargo missions that's not only bigger, but all around more capable.
•Our heavy capsules are designed primarily for both short and long range missions and to provide safe and comfortable habitation for crew on long journeys around the solar system.

•HEIGHT: 7.70 m / 25.26 ft
•DIAMETER: 6.17 m / 20.24 ft
•VOLUME: 70.3 m³ / 753.47 ft³
•The Chimera is a dual combustion chamber engine ran of rich LOX/RP1 (Kerolox) and is Elligius's new primary propulsion system.
•The Elligius MK2 capsule contains 4 Chimera engines in similar configuration as SpaceX's Dragon capsule. When compared to our older Hellfire engines the AA-Chimera delivers 49% more thrust at extreme efficiency not only making for safer and quicker launch aborts but as well as more efficient maneuvers. In addition Elligius also has new RCS thrusters that are more powerful enabling even finer tuned orbital adjustments.

@Tuckr Yeah you just have to make an adapter for the second stage and you'll be good.

What is the rocket shown in some of the photos? I think a dedicated rocket would be a nice addition

Awesome job on this. I use to explore the solar system. I bet this thing took a while to build.

I made a lander to go to mars and I never could find a capsule that was efficient and has a lot of living space and I found this craft this craft is one of the best capsules if I could rate it it would be 10/10 good job on your work

@NebulaSpaceAgency If I ever make a MK3 then yeah I should call it Ellligius haha. Pretty fitting. Want to move onto a more conventional sized capsule first though.

@Skygatee Yeah when I originally made the this capsule it was heavily inspired by the Altair capsule along with some crude elements of my ATVs and original capsule
