long-duration

With a center of gravity slightly offset from the vehicle centerline, descent loads could be kept below 4 Gs, safe enough for astronauts returning from long-duration stays on the International Space Station common sense

Space Plane Idea for Laug Haul Flights Resurrected by Virgin - NASA Watch 2009

The habitats, environmental control and life support systems and other supporting systems for long-duration spaceflight could be picked up and used by commercial entities for commercial space stations and orbiting tourist destinations.

Another is a long-duration Venus rover mission, which could be facilitated by offloading temperature-sensitive electronics, which provide high-order control functions, to the crew and computers aboard the orbiting IRHAX spacecraft.

Griffin Beg-a-thon Update - NASA Watch 2009

The IRHAX approach avoids the need for these additional elements, and frees up resources to augment science activities on the surface, such as development of robotic landers, long-duration rovers and mobile laboratories, and sophisticated instrument packages.

Griffin Beg-a-thon Update - NASA Watch 2009

I selected Venus mostly as a conveniently nearby target that would enable a field test of several technologies such as aerobraking and, yes, long-duration life support that would ultimately be used on the Mars mission.
