Purpose of a Space Tug Vehicle
Designed for orbital utility work near a space station, this small craft utilizes side-mounted propulsion engines for precise maneuvering. A prominent towing hook attached to the exterior allows the vehicle to guide cargo modules and equipment into position.
Moving Payload in Earth Orbit
Space tugs function similarly to harbor tugboats on Earth, assisting larger spacecraft that lack precise maneuvering systems. Thrusters mounted along the sides allow the pilot to push, pull, or rotate cargo in zero gravity without colliding with orbital stations.
