Description
When NASA retired the Space Shuttle from service, they tasked Lockheed with creating a replacement single stage to orbit space plane as it’s successor. Their concept was called the Venture Star. The X-33 was it’s proof of concept test plane, a scaled down version of the Venture Star. It achieved orbit utilizing linear aerospike engines and a lifting body structure. It was desinged to take off vertically and land on a runway like the Space Shuttle. Due to problems with it’s composite fuel tanks and the weight of the aerospike engines, the project was scrapped in the early 2000’s in favor of the Constellation, which later evolved into the Space Launch System.
A stock rocket called Lockheed X-33. Built with 122 of the finest parts, its root part is probeStackLarge.
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.8.1.
