The Cyten-Ward Industries OS-57 Valk is a single-stage heavy orbital shuttle designed to transport supplies to and from planetary bodies on and off Kerbin. First introduced in 2195, the 'Valk' is the largest single-stage orbital shuttlecraft deployed in kerbal history.

Featuring four high bypass ratio lift packages on the wings and two Z70 Hybrid powerplants, the Valk has a lifting capacity of 100 tons to low Kerbin Orbit or higher payloads on smaller celestial bodies. Featuring a crew compliment of three, pilot navigator and mechanic, the Valk is usually also tasked with carrying passengers offworld and can seat over 500. The wide cargo bay can fit over a dozen vehicles, aircraft, or support equipment and can quickly bring needed bulk fuels and resources to colonies. Designed to operate in tandem with an interplanetary mothership, the Valk performs the descent and ascent from surface while the orbital transport remains in the safety of high orbit.
