Within the TMI and the MOI, a staging approach is followed to increase the efficiency of the system. The TEI has only one stage with one stack and is placed inside the backbone structure of the MOI. The TMI has three serial stages; each stage composed of four stacks. The MOI has two parallel stages, here each stage consists of two stacks.

Trans Earth Injection<br />

(one stage, one stack)<br />

The front of the backbone structure is through a conical adapter structure attached to the back<br />

node of the THM. Inside this structure, five oxygen tanks and one nitrogen tank are<br />

accommodated (gasses are part of consumables), each with a diameter of 1.3 m (see Figure<br />

3-14).<br />
