The craft carries power cells for operation of auxiliary equipment, but uses a compressed Hydrogen-Oxygen mix stored in four large gas tanks under the cargo area. Total Delta-V is 30m/s. The main thrusters can accellerate at up to 5m/s and the directional thrusters at 0.1 m/s.
No environmental systems are installed, occupants must wear vacc suits.
The craft is completely fly-by-wire.
The vehicle carries several ladar sensors to measure distance to other objects and a broadcast/directional radio. An optical sensor array allows basic space navigation by fixing on star patterns or telescopic zooming. The vehicle carries an inertial locator. A white light spotlight is mounted on a motorised swivel on each of the front and rear. Low resolution cameras to aid docking operations are mounted pointing aft and ventrally.
There is a first aid kit (vacc), a fire extinguisher, range-finder telescope, hull patch, cable, safety tethers, cargo tiedowns, cargo netting, emergency toolkit, roll of Gecko adhesive, 4x flares and a spare oxygen cylinder aboard.
