The Lockheed-Martin Orion 2B is an evolution on the Orion spacecraft currently under development and it's predecessor the Orion 1 . The USAF has four such vehicles, with more under construction for servicing and staffing its two space stations (one at a 90 degree inclination and another at 28.5 degrees), starting in 2023. The Space Transportation Vehicle-1 Virgil I. Grissom and STV-2 L. Gordon Cooper are stationed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Deke Slayton and Frank Borman are at Vandenberg.

This all comes from my fictional "To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond" Universe.

Scale is 1:72, built from cardstock.










Under construction, It's nature as kitbash is apparent in this photo.




Also show is a drawing of it's launch vehicle, the SLS Block III (a project for another day. )
