EARTH-MARS CYCLER SYSTEM [EMCS] - a space transportation system designed to optimize travel time between Earth and Mars,
and to provide living space and protection for the time of transit.
Two identical space stations are put into carefully timed orbits, that cyclically come into vicinity of destination planets.
EMCS modular design allows for the creation of diverse spaces, including crew quarters, laboratories, workshops.
Rotating element of the station provides 0.38G of centrifugal gravity in two attached modules, which keeps crew in good health and strength, ready for Mars.

The Huginn & Munin orbital stations comprise various essential modules that are crucial for their operation and effectiveness.
The EMCS includes:
- VASIMA engine module featuring four fuel tanks
- TRUSS modules with solar wings
- HAB modules containing ECLSS systems, mini labs, and workshops
- CARGO units incorporating an integrated system
- CENTRIFUGE system
- INFLATABLES modules housing crew quarters and the primary laboratory with a workshop

MAIN HAB [0G] | H1 H2
gravity: 0.00
system volume: 117.60 m3
HAB volume: 211.55 m3
total volume: 329.15 m3

The HAB comprises two primary components. The smaller section is furnished with the ECLSS system, essential for supporting life within the space station.
Meanwhile, the larger part of the HAB is divided into two levels. Level01 serves as the mission control center, and Level02 houses a mini lab along with a small workshop.
Both levels are equipped with computer systems and hardware.
The adaptable interior design enables astronauts to configure the space optimally for specific scenarios, enhancing the HAB's overall flexibility.

CARGO UNIT [0G] | C1 C2
gravity: 0.00
system volume: 117.60 m3
cargo volume: 153.86 m3
total volume: 271.46 m3

The cargo unit has been specifically designed with its integrated system unit, enabling spacecraft to dock and efficiently transfer cargo to the space station.
Additionally, it is anticipated that this system will possess the capability to automatically update resource status within the cycler.
The unit is also equipped with a stowage system, which utilizes modular packaging and complete automation for efficient cargo segregation.

INF UNIT G1 [0.38G] | G1
gravity: 0.38
system volume: 117.60 m3
inflatable volume: 928.65 m3
total volume: 1046.25 m2

The Inflatable G1 unit, resembling the HAB unit, is comprised of two distinct sections. The hard shell segment houses ECLSS systems
essential for supporting the crew's life. Meanwhile, the inflatable portion encompasses two fully deployable stories.
On Level01, you'll find crew quarters for six astronauts and a hygiene unit,
while Level02 features a well-equipped gym for mission participants, a medical room with necessary equipment, and a leisure area.

INF UNIT G2 [0.38G]
gravity: 0.38
system volume: 117.60 m3
inflatable volume: 928.65 m3
The second inflatable G2 unit serves as the primary laboratory for the orbital station. On Level01, you'll find two separate laboratories,
one designated for dirty work and the other for clean work. These laboratories are divided by two hydroponics units where astronauts can conduct experiments
on plant behavior and assess the feasibility of vegetation cultivation in space. On Level02, the majority of space is dedicated to the main workshop,
equipped with mini robots designed as "helping hands." Additionally, Level02 houses the main mission control center and a communication hub.
