Returns to a runway.
The BX-100 is a reusable, autonomous space drone. It carries your payload to low Earth orbit, works there as long as the mission needs, lands on a runway, and flies again in 48 hours.

02 · Autonomy
Nobody on board. Everything on task.
Flies the mission end to end — insertion, station-keeping, deorbit — and tasks like the satellite your payload thinks it is.
