DSV-6 Odyssey’s hull has been fully assembled, and its nuclear reactors have been integrated!
“Looking good everyone! The Nova Rocket is nearly complete too! This is gonna be one big rocket when it launches!”
-Gene, visiting the VAB floor where Odyssey is under construction
Despite its massive size Odyssey’s construction consists of several well tested components: The engines, reactors, and radiator assemblies are the same design as the Discovery and Horizon class DSVs.
The central fuel hull is the same octo-hull components that are used in the Refueling barges, and the cargo bay is an extended version of the existing Cargo Bays used in the Horizon DSVs! The only completely new component is the crew and command section!
Full system integration and testing should be done by the end of the year!
How do you keep those reactors cool? Those small radiator panels surely don’t do the job? Are those wrap around radiators around the reactors, what mod are they from?

The reactor is absolutely covered in reactors, they both wrap around it and then spike off it as well. In an actual spacecraft I suspect the reactors would not stay so close to the ship, they would extend out like how the ISS has its reactors. I just thought it looked cool! I am pretty sure the reactor parts are from Near Future by Nertea. Specifically I think Near Future Electrical?
