Darkstar I

The timeline for the Exodus I has been changed to 2052, also many thanks to u/PanzerkampfwagenVIII on reddit and Wills for helping with orbital maneuvering issues

The Darkstar I is an unmanned, short-takeoff, single-stage-to-orbit Spaceplane designed and manufactured by Nova Aerospace in 2056 to replace the Exodus I. The Darkstar, although slightly heavier, slower and more expensive, it is much smaller than the Exodus I and is an engineering marvel as Darkstar is able to carry a max payload of 940,000 kilograms into Low Earth Orbit which allows it to easily obsolete the Exodus I. The Darkstar is powered by 2 Aerospike Engines which allows it to use its main engines for propulsion in both an atmospheric and vacuum environment, a V-Tail design reduces drag however it is not used for yawing and instead for airbrakes, a compound delta wing configuration combined with winglets reduces drag and therefore increase speed and range. The Darkstar is also capable of taking off from and landing on commercial runways, allowing it to land almost anywhere on earth when needed. The Darkstar I's payload allows it to be used for limitless applications if the cargo bay allows it, wether it'd be launching satellites or being used as a space station, if the cargo bay allows it, the Darkstar I can do it, there have also been military contracts for loading the Darkstar with weapon systems.

As of 2061, the Darkstar I has been succeeded by the Darkstar II (https://www.simplerockets.com/c/oRwR5V/Darkstar-II)
