  Space Construction Vehicle (StarCraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The T-280 SCV (Space Construction Vehicle) is the fictional basic Terran construction unit in the computer game StarCraft.
Possessing a fusion torch, the SCV is capable of constructing Terran buildings, mining resources from mineral formations and Vespene Refineries, repairing damaged Terran structures or Terran mechanical units, and also possesses limited attack capabilities.
In addition to constructing Terran bases, SCVs were also used in the construction of the space platforms orbiting certain Terran planets, especially the reconstruction of the Tarsonis platform.

The location of the space launch facility was assumed to be near the equator, on the premise that the gains in efficiency for the mission model to be addressed made this investment worthwhile.
Additionally, rather than discarding these tanks on each mission, these essential elements of the launch vehicle, after they have served their primary purpose of containing the fuel for ascent flight, become integral parts of the large Space Solar Power Satellite structure to be constructed in orbit, providing the numerous compression struts needed.

The most basic of the Terran troops is the SCV (Space Construction Vehicle), these are not in fact fighting troops, although they can look after themselves, they are your construction vehicles and harvesters.
Having enough SCVs is vital in any conflict, not only do they repair your vehicles and buildings (for a small cost in vespene gas) but they construct all your buildings and harvest the necessary resources.
Keep an eye on these valuable units, it may even be worth spacing them along the perimeter of your base cloaked, click on the hold position button, this will solve the problems of them running off on their own, it will also make them less useful, limiting their mobility.

Dr. Aldrin related he was in the process of getting the various space advocacy groups, such as NSS to agree on a common political platform to achieve further goals in space.
He also related that he did want to argue with other space companies about whether Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) or Two Stage To Orbit (TSTO) is a better concept for the next generation manned space vehicle.
If a smaller, leaner company develops a vehicle that is more efficient but not as reusable, then new markets such as space tourism can be opened up by greatly lowering the cost to orbit.
