This design encompasses a space of approximately 73 studs long, 21 studs wide, and 17.1 studs in height. The design will require approximately 1850 pieces to build. The model is designed to the scale of 1:485.

The intention was to create a realistic spaceship design that human civilization could hypothetically build in the far future. The vessel was designed with known laws of physics in mind, subsequently, the vessel was designed with the inclusion of crucial components in mind such as Radiators, Radiation Shielding, Communication arrays, payload area, and habitation spaces.

The final design for the Interplanetary Heavy Transport (IHT) also includes a set of SSTO shuttles for easy personnel and cargo transfer from planetary surface to orbit. The habitation spaces are primarily located in the two large rings at midships. These rings have the ability to spin, creating centrifugal acceleration, thus creating artificial gravity. Toward the front section, four large cargo containers as well as a set of sensor arrays can be found. Along the top and bottom of the vessel are six massive fuel tanks. The IHT will be powered by a formidable fusion drive engine. This engine will emit a tremendous amount of thermal energy therefore the aft section of the vessel is covered with radiators of different types and sizes. The IHT design does not include solar panel systems since as the vessel ventures farther from the sun, the solar panels will become less and less effective. Instead, the IHT is powered by a secondary reactor which will provide adequate energy when the main fusion reactor is shut down. To protect humans against the radiation emitted from these reactors, radiation shielding will be needed. Aboard the IHT the radiation shielding is placed right behind the SSTO shuttles. This radiation shield system is also integrated with radiators in order to maximize space usage. The IHT also includes multiple sets of RCS thrusters located throughout the surface of the vessel. These RCS thrusters will be used for fine course correction as well as performing other maneuvers that do not warrant the use of the main fusion engine. The vessel was also designed with flexibility in mind since many of the fuel tanks and cargo containers can be easily removed and replaced with other payloads if needed. Overall, the IHT design was carefully thought out, and many hours were spent researching the different subsystems. The only challenge was to design a rigid center beam structure where I could place the declarative components. The internal structure is composed of mostly Technic pieces to ensure maximum structure rigidity. The declarative components are made from regular bricks. This design was also created to be user-friendly and intuitive. All sequences of part assembly are logical and carefully explained in the instructions. This model has been designed to provide an entertaining building experience without frustration.
