Description

Kliper (Клипер, English: Clipper) was a proposed partly reusable manned spacecraft by RSC Energia. Due to lack of funding from the ESA and RSA, the project has been indefinitely postponed as of 2006.

Designed primarily to replace the Soyuz spacecraft, Kliper was proposed in two versions: as a pure lifting body design and as spaceplane with small wings. In either case, the craft would have been able to glide into the atmosphere at an angle that produces much less stress on the human occupants than the current Soyuz. Kliper was intended to be designed to be able to carry up to six people and to perform ferry services between Earth and the International Space Station.

My version of the Russian Kliper. It's not completely accurate;but it's to scale and detailed.I was entirely inspired by the design of the Kliper and thus,I made this model.

It is an interesting take on the design concept. The small rocket nozzles on the aft section are not covered by the heat shield's re-entry shadow. Does the shield slide back for re-entry?
