Surface to Orbit (STO) Transport
“Once you get to earth orbit, you’re halfway to anywhere in the solar system.”
― Robert Heinlein
Surface to Orbit transports are ships designed specifically for the trip between the surface of a planet and higher transfer orbits. This can include small shuttles for people and cargo, or entire super-lifters designed to carry completed star ships into orbit.
