Product/Service - Olympus, Pythom Spaceship

Classification: Cargo Transportation & Landers

Category: Commercial Lander
Commercial Lunar Lander
Transport Service (Re-Entry)
Commercial Space Station

Fields: Moon

Status: Early stage

First launch: Not announced

Olympus Lander

Once in orbit around a target, Olympus landers detach from the spaceship and land on a planet, a moon, or an asteroid. Olympus is designed to ferry humans and provisions, and return explorers back to the spaceship. Pythom Black Magic propulsion system is transferable throughout the entire space fleet, propelling rockets, landers and spaceships anywhere in the near solar system.

Pythom Spaceship

Pythom rockets (Eiger and the larger Kang) are fully reusable. Spaceship Pythom is assembled in Earth orbit from their upper stages. The ship rotates for artificial gravity. Varying speeds in different parts of the structure accommodate acclimatization to different space environments.
