Radian One — Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) Spaceplane

Radian One is a reusable, single-stage spacecraft designed to reach low Earth orbit (LEO) by taking off and landing horizontally on a conventional runway, just like an airplane. It is being developed by the American company Radian Aerospace, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

General Characteristics:

Vehicle Type: Fully reusable, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spaceplane.

Takeoff and Landing Operation: Takes off and lands horizontally like a conventional airplane.

Performance and Orbital Mission
Orbit:
Designed to reach low Earth orbit (LEO).
It can remain in orbit for up to approximately 5 days (based on projections).

Potential Applications:
Crew and cargo transport to space stations.
Orbital services (maintenance, inspection, logistics).
Research and manufacturing in LEO.
Urgent cargo transport around the world.

Development Status:
The company has conducted ground tests of a scale prototype (PFV01) to validate aerodynamics and basic systems.

The full version has not yet flown into space; it is still in the design and prototype testing phase.

Notes: This is my first airplane built from scratch by me :D
It's simple, but made with as much detail and fidelity as possible to the conceptual model presented by Radian Aerospace.

¡I hope you like it and have fun! ;)
As always, the airplane's instructions are in the game.

Ag1: Gyroscope.

Ag2: Push Back.

Ag3: Hook.
