The Cobra Shuttle dwarfs the American NASA space shuttle. It was based on Cobra Island, and the crew got on the spacecraft while it was in a horizontal position, after which it was quickly raised to the vertical position and launched soon afterwards.
The shuttle had a bay with an extendable claw which could be used to unload or retrieve satellites or seize (or steal) satellites. In space, the shuttle was a far more maneuverable spacecraft than the NASA space shuttle, able to engage in G.I. Joe shuttle Defiant in space combat.
