Please find The Mark Two version of the UCGO Gantry
New style, Up to 6 visible crew, New Diagnostic Station at rear
Designed to service Delta Gliders on The Moon and on Mars, The Gantry can take 6 crew and 8 cargo modules. The MK2 builds on the lessons learned by the Mk1 and adds new functions.
Still using very simple components it can easily be assembled off world. It acts as a cargo transporter, a crew delivery vehicle and a maintenance platform.
The six crew slots are intended to be a Crew Chief plus the DGIV's Captain and 4 crew. The 8 cargo slots allow for quick turnaround, arriving at the landing pad with 4 full/new pods and leaving with 4 empty/delivered pods.
The gantry can manoeuvre over a DGIV with its Cargo Bay doors open as the central cargo area is elevated. In Situ two working platforms fold down to near wing level and are held in place with a rotatable restraint. The gantry also has a short range 3D Imaging radar which coupled with its Thin Dropdown Marker ( DTM ) allow for accurate placement over the DGIV.
With 4 interdependently driven wheels housed in the crew seating stations, the Gantry can approach a DGIV on a type one landing pad and when finished manoeuvre off the Pad via the entrance without reversing should the need arise.
Keys (modified from Mk1)
1 Platform Rest Restraint
2 Port Side Working Platform
3 Starboard Side Working Platform
4 Diagnostic Station at rear
5 3D Imaging Radar
plus standard UCGO controls for driving/steering/crew/cargo

It really goes without saying it Requires UCGO and While it will work with stock Delta Glider its best with a DGIV. Unzip from Orbiter directory maintaining folders.
Again it was only possible thanks to awesome work done by “DAN”. Inspired by the work and help of such as “4thRock” “ar81” “csanders” “cpnt_hensley2” “orb” and of course “wehaveaproblem” for showing what can be done.
