NASA Dream Chaser

[GBLAKEM1999]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the modding community and have never actually made a mod but there is one ship nasa is working on that i would love to be able to use to shuttle kerbals to and from my stations. The ship im refering to is the NASA Dream Chaser. Some of you might not have heard of it before but its like a smaller newer (wingless) space shuttle. Yes Wingless!!! It's body is flat and has a big surface area to support the craft to land. To take off it sits on top of an atlas V rocket (which i would also like in this mod) and is meant to shuttle astronauts (and kerbals) to orbiting facilities. Again I've never modded a craft or anything for that matter but i would like to have someone mod this for me or with me for us and the entire ksp community to enjoy.

If you would like to help me on this project just post in the thread.

I will hope if I get help to have the mod up by the end of the summer, but not really sure how long it will take.

Thank you for reading.

Update:

Hey guys. I decided that I am going to make this modded part. I downloaded the software yesterday and I'm currently getting used to it. After i get used to it then im going to make a few easy parts getting progressively more challenging like boosters and fuels tanks to rcs ports and that stuff.

I'm putting a rough estimate on the release to be Sunday, July 31, 2014 for the prototype of this part. If it's not there there will be a new date for the release.

Now I'm not going to post the part if there isn't enough demand for it. so i'm going to make a pole that will close on the 30th of this month so go vote!

Various people have been working on mods along these very same lines. Some work, some don't.

There are probably more but these where all I was able to dig up quickly:

But you can very easily build your own craft with for example B9 Aerospace.

Any news so far? this would be great for my ISS project!

Hey I'm sorry but I've been busy and havnt had time to work with blender much and the times I have tried it I have failed. School coming up I won't have much time at all if any so don't expect this mod from me. If anyone knows how to make parts I would be more than happy to work with someone who knows what they're doing. Again sorry about not posting this sooner.

Aw thats a shame its the third dream chaser to be abandoned. But real life is more important

[GBLAKEM1999]

Yes I'm sorry to have kept you waiting

[TheScareCake!]

So will we see this? I always wanted to fly it in ksp...

[GBLAKEM1999]

If I can find the time to or partner with someone to help with it

[kenbobo]

My forum sig says it all. Says. It, All.

If you do the modelling, partnership will be official!

[GBLAKEM1999]

No I'm looking for a mod not a ship but going through blender or something and designing it through that. Sorry

And you might have a look at the date before you post. This thread hasn't seen any action for roughly six months.
