The ship that will transport us, Stella Luna, is not your traditional rocket ship. When launched, the solar sails will be closed. The actual area our crew will be in is ovular shaped (It is called the home base) and is attached to the back of the solar sails, during launch. It will look like this:

Although the majority of Stella Luna’s power is derived from our solar sails, rockets will be placed on the back of the ship and front. The back rockets will give us the needed speed to exit Saturn’s orbit (I will explain that process in a latter post) and the front rockets will slow us down when we are twenty days from the arrival of Saturn. After we arrive in space and the solar sails are deployed, our “home base” will diss-attach from the back of the solar sails and float behind the eight solar sails. The “home base” will be attached to the center of the eight solar sails by four titanium wires. Here is a Since we will be in space for an extended period of time, we will be exposed to a surplus of solar radiation. If not protected for solar radiation, severe health problems or fatality will occur. Therefore, special protective shields will be placed over are home base to protect us. P.S Here is a basic idea of what the ship will look like. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080912040231/starwars/images/thumb/b/b0/Sailer_NEGVV.jpg/497px-Sailer_NEGVV.jpg
