Spaceship passes through Pluto’s atmosphere. Oil on canvas, 90 x 60 cm. Shipping in a roll.

This spacecraft features artificial gravity and a nuclear fusion propulsion system, also equipped with a nuclear reactor, resulting in its tail consisting of radiators for cooling. The spacecraft performs an aerocapture maneuver while passing at low altitude through Pluto’s thin atmosphere to reduce speed and enter orbit, conserving fuel. The nose shield, which serves as protection from meteorites, and the tail radiators are equipped with magnetic coils that control the plasma generated by the heated atmosphere to control stability.
