Wow, Brian. The yellow ship looks alot like the Mars Lander from the Disney Mars rocket called the "Umbrella Ship", which was a solar ion powered spacecraft. It is documented in Jack Hagerty's "Spaceship Handbook". I am old enough to have seen the original Disney series based on some of Von Braun's concepts and have it on DVD when they released the Tomorrowland series.
I am concerned about the forward canard surface area as Rocksim is not foolproof. I am interested in the flight.
