"The X-38 Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) was a prototype for a wingless lifting body reentry vehicle that was to be used as a Crew Return Vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS). The X-38 was developed to the point of a drop test vehicle before its development was cancelled in 2002 due to budget cuts."

Carrys 4 kerbals

Unfortunately due to trying to make it small, it technically has no fuel on board. Im considering adding a fuel module to the tail section of the ship as it doesnt have one, and it would probably help with the total lack of fuel. What can i say? The fuel tank was in the way of the parachute..blimp..thing

Still in space....

oh so many mods:

rollkage

hooligan labs - airships

b9 aerospace

mechjeb 2.0x

CP airbags

EVA parachutes + ejection module

procedural wings

Lack luster labs

flag decal

it might have some parts that have custom cfg's..if you want to play with it i can get the .craft file, but i like i said..it was more made to look like the x-38 then anything..the fact that it works is real nice..just wish it had fuel.

I know this is over a month old, but as you seem to like mods I thought you might want to have a look at the Kliper from bobcat's Soviet Pack. It's basically a Russian version of the prototype CRV you posted...and his holds a bus load of kerbals.
