Pythom Space · Supports System
“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 Space · Supports System
“Born out of a design for Mars ascenders, Eiger and Birka rockets are lightweight, quick to assemble and powered by propellants that don’t require cryogenic storage facilities.”

Pythom Space · Supports System
“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.”
