U.S. Air Force X-37B Unmanned Space Plane paper model

Today the X-37B Space Plane landed after 15 months in orbit. Nothing is known about what this space plane did for 15 months or what it will be used for in the future, but it is interesting none the less. Looks like a miniature Space Shuttle.

Here is a nice little paper model of the space plane. To be completely authentic to the X-37B the colors will need to be modified as this model is for an earlier version. But still a great model anyway.

You can find this model, along with a bunch of other neat space stuff at The Lower Hudson Valley E-Gift Shop. Don't worry about the "Shop" part of the name, the models are free downloads.

Here is the direct link to the X-37B model
