The Deltaglider EX is a modified Delta-glider. It's a BIG Delta-glider.
In a planetary atmosphere this craft is not a rocket ship --- it must be flown to orbit. Once you learn its performance envelope it is easily capable of a round trip to Mars orbit from Kennedy Space Center without refueling. For a real challenge, try KSC to Olympus Base; it has just barely enough hover authority to maneuver onto the landing pad.
