Description
Version 2
Starjet-Hyperdyne L120 operated by Pan-Jovian Spacelines pierces through the Europan atmosphere on its way to rendezvous with an interplanetary shuttle in orbit.
This 40-seater single-stage to orbit spaceplane is powered by two Grobstein & Sons AV-24 Thermal Bamba Drives, capable of switching between direct air cycle and thermal rocket modes depending on operating conditions. This specific model first entered service in 2119.
Flights between Askefjord on Europa and the colonies of Ganymede and Io are frequently carried out, transporting the few who can afford or who are willing to leave their homeworlds.
