The crew lineup — a small hovering robot, a blonde girl in a patched spacesuit, a red-haired boy in a silver spacesuit, and a towering bearded astronaut

The crew

Concept sketches

Early character sketch of the crew lineup — robot, girl, boy and astronaut, drawn in loose marker and ink
Pencil sketch of the machine-room habitat — domed pods, a greenhouse and a windmill clustered on a landing pad

X-Raket

The battered yellow X-Raket, a red cross painted across its hull, shown at rest and lifting off in a cloud of steam
The X-Raket in flight, one panel open to reveal a friendly face and a pair of mechanical arms waving a yellow cloth

3D Rendering

Exterior of the machine-room habitat — domed pods, a greenhouse, a satellite dish and a windmill around a landing pad
Interior of the habitat's activity room — a treadmill, weights, a control console and a glass capsule lift
Interior of the habitat's living room — a sofa, a telescope at a round porthole window, and hand-drawn artwork on the wall
A bunk-bed nook built into the habitat wall, with a star-print blanket and a shelf labelled X-Raket
