X-37B on SpaceX Falcon 9FT


Recommended Posts

In honor of SpaceX winning the launch contract for the next X-37B mission (planned launch date NET August 2017), I decided to throw together a mockup of what the whole mission might look like. 

This was the first time I'd ever built a proper spaceplane. The only mod used was Tweakscale, because I couldn't very well get the proportions right without that.

The booster does a RTLS landing; the X-37B does a once-around and re-enters. No RCS for attitude control on the orbiter. I saved in orbit before payload separation and I am considering going back and doing a Mun mission with the orbiter.
