Marie-Curie Class-F Shuttlecraft

Constructed with a duranium metal shell, the Class F was propelled by an ion engine whose power was generated by a matter/antimatter reaction; it was capable of matching the speed of a Constitution-class starship at warp. The exterior could also be reinforced with a protective shield.

The twenty-four foot long Class F shuttle was divided into two sections: the forward section, which contained seating arrangements for at least seven passengers, and a smaller aft section, which contained access to the engineering components of the shuttle. Access was made to the shuttle via an entrance on the port side, which consisted of two sliding doors and a hinged gangway, which, when lowered, stretched from the main body of the shuttle to the port nacelle.

In normal flight through the void of deep space, Class F shuttles operated on instruments only. The blast shutters on the three forward windows would be lowered when sensors detected something visually significant (e.g. a nebula).

The Marie-Curie (NCC-062/1) was the only shuttle at service onboard the U.S.S.Pegasus (NCC-062) at 2260s.
It wasn't capable of reaching the warp speed and it's seating is for four passangers only, but it can be used in the orbit-surface transport and science expeditions no worse than normal Class F shuttle.

The aft module can be replaced by the additional oxygen tank, deuterium extractor or docking connector
