The Ares shuttle or Dreamliner is a spaceplane designed for the Ares program to replace the space shuttle's role in transporting large amounts of crew into orbit. The Dreamliner has options for a fully pressurized interior for launching crew and cargo, and half pressurized half unpressurized interior for launching large cargo like space station parts.


Activation Groups:

  1. Control Surfaces
  2. Cab Lights
  3. OMS Engines
  4. Fold Wings
  5. Cargo bay
  6. Landing Gear
  7. Solar Panels
  8. RCS

Flight Programs:

Automated Launch & Orbit

The program does a gravity turn and does a burn to reach orbit with the second stage.

Launch failure program

has a chance to fail one of the three engines on assent, if an engine fails late enough then the rocket can continue on its way to orbit.
(this program is hugely inspired by OrbitalSailorsAerospace's launch Failure program)
