In the upper right of the photo, you can see a 'Rock Hopper' bringing an asteroid fragment for processing. To the left of the photo you can see the orbital Proceessing Station. At the bottom, in the middle a shuttle can be seen entering the Martian atmosphere.
The SS Zhou Xiangwang was a typical 2nd generation fusion ship, built on the popular Petrelli-Markov spaceframe. These ships were capable of system wide trips and the adaptable spaceframe allowed them to configured in a variety of ways. The first Martian 'cruisers' were based on a derivitive of this spaceframe.
