Prometheus, Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO)

Hello to all,
In the web there is a lot of material about JIMO,
but I haven't found any detailed plan of the entire spacecraft,
I like the design, seems really similar to venerable Discovery
of "2001 a space odyssey " , also I saw a video on msn,
with a more complete representation of the whole mission,
(with deploying structure action) but it seems not possible to download it.
Anyone have interesting material?..
I know that the mission is cancelled, and the current programs
of NASA are completely absorbed by CEV and Apollo II "the return"...
Any rumors about a renaissance of this fascinating exploration mission?
thanks to all,

Giuseppe

That's where you went astray...
there is no design

Or, to be more accurate, there
were several design proposals
that met NASA requirements for
the JIMO mission, but no final
design had been selected before
the project was sidelined as
being "too ambitious for a first
step in nuclear electric
propulsion."

(Not to mention that Bush wants
people back on the moon... and
there ain't emough budget to
fund both projects concurrently.)
