Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

40dt TL8 Spaceplane Orbiter/Shuttle

This durably built space-plane was made by a consortium led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Honda Corp., & Boeing Aerospace at the Everett WA (USA-NA, Terra--Sol3) plant. These spacecraft can be encountered anywhere, even higher technology planets (the low cost determining). Capable of take-off at any airport on Earth and traveling to the moon and return, these extremely well made craft are a cheap and reliable form of transport. To save reaction mass, and for the thrill, pilots love being able to dead stick land the craft on standard and denser atmosphere planets.

This craft is also available without the heat shielding bringing down the cost of basic vessel (Option C) to an astoundingly low 3.475McrImp.; of course, in a bid to avoid liability for foolish operators, and to prevent cheap competitor makes of this design, the consortium has convinced the Imperial Starport Authority and the Traveller's Aid Society to not allow registration of the vessel if it does NOT have heat shielding.
