The image shows the separation of the massive first-stage induction engine from the second-stage vehicle against a background of a glowing nebula and a distant binary star system. The design reflects the proposed use of electron beam-triggered inertial confinement fusion, with the spherical fuel pellet tanks visible on the second-stage structure.
