DeltaGliderIII is a light space vessel capable of long-distance flights. It features highly realistic and fully functional cockpit instruments, which include not only flight instruments but also controls for the life support system, electric system, fuel system. DeltaGliderIII contains a live crew who can die if the cabin pressure, temperature, CO<sub>2</sub> levels are unacceptable. Unlike most vessels in Orbiter, DeltaGliderIII can develop faults in response to overloads such as extreme [[G-force]] or reentry temperature. A unique feature of DeltaGliderIII is the ability to perform [[EVA|Extra-Vehicular Activity]]: the pilot or one of the crew members can go into open space inside a space suit with primitive engines and instruments.

Delta Glider III

The DeltaGliderIII was a vessel addon designed for Orbiter by Dansteph. It featured highly realistic and fully functional cockpit instruments, included flight instruments along with controls for the life support system, electrical systems, and fuel systems. The DeltaGliderIII simulated a live crew which could be killed by incorrect cabin pressure, temperature or CO2 level. Unlike most vessels in Orbiter at the time, the DeltaGliderIII was able to simulate damage due to overloads such as extreme G-forces or reentry temperature, damaging or destroying the vessel. Crew onboard a DeltaGliderIII were able to perform Extra-Vehicular Activities, also a first for Orbiter vessels at the time. (More...)
