The ION BUTTERFLY is an ION only Spaceship / Lander / Rover. It is limited to operating around MINMUS and is not MUN rated. It must be manually launched. Used by the ION FLEET to evaluate ION Pilots and for MINMUS training missions. The BUTTERFLY comes with an Ultralight RCS Low Gravity Speeder that's just to much fun to leave home. The BUTTERFLY was designed to both test an ION Pilots ability and also exploit the capabilities of the ION Engines.
Mastering the BUTTERFLY is an important Milestone for any ION Pilot, to master it, is to master all of them.
It's like one one those little Sailing Dinghies or a Hobie Cat.
It is ideal for exploring MINMUS and capable of multiple landings. It makes an ideal Rover there and you can just about point it and fly it where you want to go. It carries a Sci Lab Jr that returns to Kerbin with the Reentry Capsule and enough storage to set up multiple Science Stations.
There is an Action Group to manipulate the Panels.
