The Icarus Booster/Spaceplane is a self contained launch and reentry system. The booster and the orbiter are both reusable. Both can touchdown on water or land. AG1 and VTOL UP activates the self erecting launcher mechanism and turns on the main booster engines. VTOL CENTER and wait till the arms close before throttling up. Use the TRIM keep the booster going strait up as it tends to want to pitch onto its back. When you reach your desired altitude. Turn off AG1 wait till the craft slows under 800 mph. And activate AG2. This will activate the orbiters engines, separate the orbiter from the booster and deploy the booster's parachutes. The spaceplane is capable of gliding to a landing, or you can use the engines, if you have fuel left. VTOL UP to raise the lower fins for flight and landing. The booster is equipped with two remote cameras. Up you go!
