Surveysat v1.0 (TL 10)
    Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer
        
        This small satellite was build for scout teams. From orbit it provides
    mapping, communications support and basic geological surveys.
        The sat has multiscanners (nominal range 10 miles), a radar (540 miles)
    and a camera. That allows maps with a few yards precision. Four tightbeam
    coms provide over-the-horizon links between the grounded basecraft and away
    teams. The delta-V is nearly unlimited - that allows a single sat to map a
    world. Note that the sat can't support itself at one standard gravity (it
    needs a cradle).
        The Surveysat uses TL10 technology [Mar. 96 errata sheet] with the
    reactionless thruster from Space.
    
    Structure:  20 cf cheap light body (HT 50), maximum load N/A, sealed body
        and vertol lift system.
    Propulsion:  40 lbs. reactionless thruster (DR 5, HT 6).
    Power:  50 KW fusion plant (DR 5, HT 10) and 50 KWh rechargeable power
        cells (DR 5, HT 4). Excess power 3 KW.
    Armor:  300 points expensive armor, F6/50 B6/50 R6/50 L6/50 T6/50 U6/50.
    Cargo:  None, but 2.3 cf maintenance access space.
    Accessories:  Two medium multiscanners (scan 18, DR 3, HT 6, electronics),
        long-range surface-search radar (scan 29/23, DR 3, HT 20, electronics),
        recon camera (DR 5, HT 7, electronics), two dumb minicomputers (C4, DR
        3, HT 4, electronics), two secure long-distance radios (DR 3, HT 4,
        electronics), two IFF, two EM coms, two neutrino coms (DR 3, HT 3,
        electronics). Programs: Database (3.375 GB recognition guides),
        datalink, sensor operation (C4, skill 17 or +6), routine vehicle
        operation (C3, skill 15).
    
    Statistics:  Cost $500,000, design mass 1,000 lbs., max. payload N/A, size
        mod. +1, radar signature +1, IR signature +2, acoustic signature N/A.
    
    Ground, Water and Air Performance:  None.
