ZOOM-IN: This ball point pen&ink sketch Close-Up was drawn from accumulated witness testimonies, combined with specialty author consultations, combined with believable rumors and a mountain of wishful thinking resulted in this finished 1998 render.

CITATION: From the lostinspace.fandom.com/wiki/Ju… Wiki:
SALUTE: The Jupiter 2 itself was described as a "super spaceship" in The Reluctant Stowaway . The ship also had artificial gravity which was only switched off temporarily in the first episode. The ship is the most sophisticated piece of hardware yet devised by the mind of human beings at the time of launch.

INSPIRATION: The Jupiter 2, (alternatively the Gemini 12, the Jupiter II or simply the Jupiter) is the “flying saucer” spaceship of the Robinson Family “The culmination of nearly 40 years of intensive research” at the time of launch, it was considered the “most sophisticated piece of hardware yet devised by the mind of man”. (The Reluctant Stowaway)

The spaceship stands two stories tall. The upper deck contains a sophisticated automated guidance system and a set of freezing tubes capable of placing the six member crew into a state of suspended animation for the duration of their five and half year journey.

However, the “Super-Spaceship” had in fact been based on the warp drive and other technology of a crashed Aeolian vessel, and built by the Irwal Corporation under the tutelage of the craft’s sole survivor, P’ezu. (Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul)

The successor of the sabotaged and destroyed Jupiter 1 spacecraft, The Jupiter 2 was almost doomed to a similar fate when it launched on October 16th, 1997, but incredibly the craft survived to become lost in space, carrying it’s crew through years of adventures, and finally bringing them home in 2015. (The Epilogue)

The Jupiter 2 resembles a "flying saucer" on the exterior, and in fact started the flying saucer phenomenon after travelling back in time to 1947 (Visit to a Hostile Planet) It has a dome on top and a large viewport.

The actual size of the spacecraft is unclear. The hull of the ship is made of titanium, although parts of it, including the hatch, are made of cosmium steel. In the first few episodes, it glows in most flight scenes, but this was dropped later on. It was launched on October 16, 1997, towards a planet of the star Alpha Centauri for the purpose of colonizing it.

Its crew consisted of the Robinson family, Major Don West , and an environmental control The Robot. The Jupiter 2 mission cost about 30 billion dollars. There was presumably a Jupiter 1 which probably got sabotaged by the same organization, Aeolus 14 Umbra, who attempted to destroy the Jupiter 2. The Jupiter 1 was seen in the Lost in Space comics and in the Alpha Control reference manual.
