Question Under Development -- Deep Space Surveyor

Thought I'd share this with you, just keep in mind it's still being fiddled with and is not yet ready for prime time. The engine is 24mm, and I'm trying to keep it to a C11-3. This is an FCOD type of design, with no fins to speak of (if I can manage it, that is...).

The internal core is ST-20. Most of the detail work is just cardstock transitions and matteboard laser-cuts. The large transition is shown at 50% opacity, so you can see the details in 3D.

Needless to say, the static margin is lousy! Above 0.00, but just barely! The one thing I don't want to do is add ballast if I can avoid it. It's heavy enough...

Suggestions and comments welcome!
