|
The XRV (Experimental Re-Entry
Vehicle) was an experimental lifting body-style spacecraft featured in the
1969 sci-fi drama "Marooned," based on the Martin Caiden novel of the same
name. Modeled after actual lifting body designs being developed at the
time, the XRV was intended to be a one-man test vehicle, but was quickly
outfitted to carry four (including the pilot) when the Apollo-era Ironman
One spacecraft got marooned in orbit after its retro rockets failed to
fire. In the film, the XRV was launched into orbit aboard a Titan III-C rocket through the eye of a hurricane that was battering Cape Canaveral.. |
