About the MOC

This is a MOC of the X-33 spaceplane. The different flaps can be moved. The small payload compartment doors can be opened. A few tiles on the bottom can be taken of to reveal the landing gear.

About the rocket

The X-33 was a proposed suborbital demonstrator for the VentureStare SSTO. Unlike VentureStar it was only supposed to fly suborbital trajectories. It was cancelled in the early 2000s.
