X-37

[flying coffin]

Since the X-37 stole the LRO/LCROSS launch slot, some capable person might make an X-37 add-on. I'm thinking stick it on the velcro rockets Atlas V 501,
and land it at Edwards.

Thanks a bunch if anyone chooses to pick this up and run with it!

Didn't McDope do an X-37 long, long ago? I can't seem to find my copy, though. Nor at Orbitmods.

I looked at orbithangar for "X-37" and got nothing. Also did a search on here.

Launch time somewhere around November 2008... not too long a wait.

Actually, the X-37 will land in Vandenberg AFB, were the Space Shuttles were going to land.

It's ON THE GALLERY PAGE! Check http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/gallery.html and look in the far, lower left.

It doesn't show up in OrbitMods, though. I remember the days when it seemed McDope was making a new add-on a week, but I'm not sure I remember this one. Clearly it existed at some point...there's a screenshot.

Okay, anyone have it?

If not, does anyone want to model it?
