"No cocktail bar, no".
LIAM (affectionately also: Little Igel, tin can, neckbreaker, water tower) is a fully non-tinkered colonist shuttle for Mars. It can also deliver small amounts of surface produced MethaLOx fuel to orbit.
Essential for such a craft is the ability to return to surface from orbit without refueling.
And that is the problem. So this craft is very practical as you can see, very easy to board and leave. For up to 13 colonists.
Landing is as follows:
- deorbit
- down to 50km altitude
- brake to 500m/s
- activate the landing program with AG5
Tested on Mars with HyperPatch Solar System 2.0.
Welcome to Mars, colonist !
p.s. "Igel" is the German word for hedgehog
