Project SANTOS is my work design for the role of prototyping research engineer with The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics ( AIAA) as an attempt to increase the cargo payload + astronauts delivered to space per launch out of the ordinary methods. The project will be patented as my intellectual property with co-op (AIAA)
The Rocket contains 2 launch stages powered by liquid fuel rocket engines and 3rd stage powered by a single rocket engine containing a capsule with a docking port powered by steering thrusters and Solar modules.
The 2nd stage features long range engines for deep space missions with externally attached liquid fuel / oxygen Tanks & smart rich mixing techniques, remotely guided cargo bay for ISS and a cruising Ion thruster for longer distances.
The project might be seen realty If it stands out the other Intellectual projects proposed by other engineers.
