The Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (which lost NASA funding in 2005) was to orbit Jupiters moons propelled by an ion system called HiPEP. It was to convert nuclear reactive heat to electricity to power the crafts systems and it's ion propulsion and Halls thruters. JIMO was to be the first practical application of the Promethius Project, which was to explore nuclear propulsion systems. I modeled this craft in Cinema 4D.

The Sci Fi Imagery of Russ Colwell (Helix3d)
I'm Helix3d. I've uploaded my artwork into numerous internet galleries. I've closed most of these galleries (except Innertraveler and SciFiMeshes). I've worked in computer graphics for over 10 years now. My primary applications are Bryce, Cinema 4D and Photoshop. All the images displayed here are my original copyrighted work. You may download them for non commercial uses. Due to a new business venture I no longer have time to produce such images as much as I'd like, so I wanted to provide my own gallery of sorts.
