All these worlds...

Hovering at an altitude of approximately 55m above the lunar surface, the Arrow freighter has just received the crew of the DeltaGlider IV. Not visible in the shot, the payload bay doors are almost closed. Filled with supplies and crew, final departure preparations are being made, and the ship will soon depart Brighton Beach for the long journey to Europa.

Am slightly confused. 1143 Odysseus - is it by any chance a Trojan?

If you raise your gear, you can probably get lower. IINM, altitude is measured from the ships COG, so is a few meters above the wheels.
