Take a look at pic related.

It’s basically a bigger version of the DST. It requires twice the power (1 Megawatt vs 500 kilowatts) and can carry more crew (6 versus four) and can even bring Orion along with it instead of having to dock again with the Gateway.

It also has more delta V as it can go straight from LEO to mars and back.

It’s also a lot heavies. DST is about 100 tons fully loaded, while this vehicle is 230 tons.

I actually really like this design. It has enough mass margin that you could give it a rotating centrifuge.

The paper didn’t specify how much fuel it needed to complete a mission departing from the EML2, though, so as it stands it requires over a hundred tons of fuel every mission.
