Designed in the style of an International Space Station (ISS) module,it includes a robotic arm. It would be self-propelled and reusable. It is 13.7 metres long and 5.5 metres across. The cylindrical component is 8.5 metres long and includes a multi-thruster propulsion system. The upper pressurized component includes a windowed cupola to allow the crew to remotely operate the tools.
