Description: After landing on the moon, the commercial SSTO exchanges
its empties for full fuel tanks, and refills its internal tanks at the same
time.
Description: Commercial SSTO launches from the moon with returning
passengers and a full load of fuel. At this point, the ship is burning
fuel from its internal tanks.
Description: Commercial SSTO burns its main engines to return to
Earth. Before leaving lunar orbit, the ship folds in its landing gear in
anticipation of the heat of reentry into Earth's atmosphere. If it can't
get its gear up, the ship can still return to the moon for repairs.
Description: The final task of the commercial SSTO is to deliver full
fuel tanks to its sister ship, so the other ship can continues its trip to
the moon.
