The Dragonfly Pod is an air / atmospheric based exploration vehicle, configured using the Earth or Space Pod. The Dragonfly Pod has four transport legs on the sides, four jet wings on the top, two robotic repair arms on the front, and a flight assisting tail on the back.
Launch Sequences[]
To launch the Dragonfly Pod using the Earth Pod chassis, the operator steps on the platform in Thunderbird 2’s cockpit, lowering them into the module. They then select the Dragonfly Pod configuration. Robotic arms attach the transport legs to the sides, the jet wings to the top, the robotic repair arms to the front, and the flight assisting tail to the back. Once configured, the operator gets into the Earth Pod, and the module door opens, ready for the Dragonfly Pod to be deployed.
To launch the Dragonfly Pod using the Space Pod chassis, the operator exits Thunderbird 3's cockpit and enters the cargo bay. They then select the Dragonfly Pod configuration. Robotic arms attach the transport legs to the sides, the jet wings to the top, the robotic repair arms to the front, and the flight assisting tail to the back. Once configured, the operator gets into the Space Pod, and the cargo bay door opens, ready for the Dragonfly Pod to be deployed.
