For pictures relating to the MS-1 spaceplane program.....https://engineering.purdue.edu/AAE450s/fall03/osp-msp/verderame-msp-1999-phillips.pdf (dated October 27, 1999)The design architecture of the various MS-1 proposals draws up on the X-33, X-37, and X-38 programs, and it's important to note that Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Orbital Sciences appear to have submitted proposals for the SMV portion of the MS-1 competition. Given the amount of time that has passed since the MS-1 designation was assigned and the fact that the end-goal of the X-37B remains classified, is it possible that the Air Force deferred choosing a final contractor for the MS-1 due to the failure of the X-33 program and delays in the X-37 program?
