The Odyssey is the first ever successful shuttle designed by OSAS. It's a small craft designed to transport low-volume payloads and supplies to space stations (this download doesn't have any payload).
Its default launch vehicle is the Eclipse Heavy Lifter, using it will allow the shuttle to reach at least a medium orbit around Droo. Just be mindful of fuel consumption so you can lower your orbit enough to make a safer reentry.


OSAS is currently working on making a passenger variation of the Odyssey that would have space tuorism and crew transport/evacuation as main objectives. However, for that to be acomplished, the main structure would have to be altered (not really but to roleplay yes) so this variation might take a while to be out.


Things to keep in mind:

  • The recommended reentry speed is ~3000-3500m/s (with some margin for variations, this was not yet thoroughly tested so the actual max speed could be higher);
  • The maximum temperature tolerance of the craft in general is 3000°C;
  • At lower altitudes, the speed just dies. This is not a very good glider so try to plot your maneuvers in a way that you get the closest possible to the intended runway;
  • Stall speed is ~90-110m/s and as said before it drops FAST, so watch out;
  • There is not really a need for parachutes/drouguechutes, so there's none;
  • Careful to not steer too hard upon landing, it's very easy to wing-strike.
