"Thunderbird 3 is GO!"

Thunderbird 3 is to conduct a photo reconnaissance of all 50 States in the USA. Once a photo is taken the current pilot will post the photos on the mission board. Upon completing the reconnaissance of all 50 States Thunderbird 3 is to continue it's mission towards Africa to conduct further photo reconnaissance.

Thunderbird 3 is a sleek spacefaring vehicle, capable of intercepting any stranded vessel or manned satellite within our solar system. She is more often used to ferry John and Alan up to Thunderbird 5, for their month-long tour of duty.
Thunderbird 3 Specification
Pilot
Alan Tracy, youngest son of Jeff Tracy. Alan puts duty before his love for Tin-Tin and sometimes gets angry when he is the butt of kid-brother jokes, but only for a moment.
Hangar
Secret silo excavated beneath the round house, which is somewhat distant from the main house. Presumably, there's some hatch (never seen) that prevents passers-by from simply falling in.
Access to Vehicle
Alan and his copilot, usually Scott, sit on a particular sofa in the main house, which descends on an elevator piston deep underground. The sofa is replaced by an identical one. Settling onto a railcar, the astronauts are then ferried underground, across the island to TB3's silo, where another elevator tube lifts the sofa off the railcar and takes them up through a hatch in the base of TB3. The sofa is locked off, the tube retracts and the hatch is closed.
Launch Sequence
The pilot enters the internal service elevator and ascends to the command deck. At the controls, he triggers the count-down, opening the silo. Three giant booster rocket engines ignite in cradles which deflect the thrust away from the craft, which lifts off through the centre cutaway of the round house. Once into space, the particle drive is engaged.
Power Plant
Nuclear reactor for main power, situated aft. Three particle drive engines, generating continuous ion thrust. The three field coils radiate out every 120° and supply the particle guns, which fire ions at near-lightspeed down tubes passing through the main engine cluster. Chemical booster rockets, situated in farings aft, for assisting take-off and vertical landing. Ring of retro-firing rockets situated in annular faring above the 32 heat exchanger vanes.
Equipment
Space suits and thruster packs. Hand-held cutting equipment and other kinds of tools, stored in webbing-belts. Powerful transmitter array for beaming telemetry signals to stranded space craft. Cargo bay for storage. Universal docking collar for access to other spacecraft.
