The Shuttle-A is a cargo vessel designed for a low gravity/low pressure operational environment. Its primary area of deployment is for transport duty between LEO, the Moon, Mars, and potentially moons in the outer solar system. In its current configuration it is also capable of achieving orbit from Earth's surface, but this requires a precise ascent profile.
The engine layout consists of a set of two main engines, two hover engines, and two engines in central side pods which can be rotated for hover or retro duty. There are two different propellant systems for main and RCS engines.
The Shuttle-A contains a docking port and airlock below the habitat module which is protected by a hatch during atmospheric flight.
