The ISDC’s interstellar vessel has a name chosen from history: Endeavour.
Referred to as “the vessel’ until now, Endeavour has been named after the vessel Captain Cook sailed on his world-changing voyage of exploration in 1768. Pictured is a replica of Endeavour based at the Maritime Museum in Sydney, Australia.
The naval architecture team have begun exploring designs for the exterior of the ISDC’s interstellar vessel, with a couple of rounds of design concepts already completed.
The team is guided by the ISDC’s vessel design principles which outline factors such as how long the vessel should be expected to stay in deep space, what she could expect to have to defend herself against and the conditions that her crew should expect aboard.
