Shuttlepod

A shuttlepod was a type of small shuttle that was used to ferry personnel and equipment between large s either within deep space or in orbit of a planet. Typical designs were not intended for atmospheric entry and exit; as such, they were equipped only with basic maneuvering thrusters in addition to small-scale s and the most simplistic of navigational programs. This arrangement allowed shuttlepods to carry larger loads compared to similarly-sized vessels that were used in the orbit-to-ground transport role.
