Does anyone know this movie? It's another one of the Andersson's creations (Space:1999):

I think Orbiter is now developped enough for this kind of ship configuration. For an old movie, I
think the configuration is quite realistic. Besides the "Dove" looks incredibly similar to Dan's DG. :)
The transport vessels looks pretty impressive and the lander docks inside the ship on it's thrust
axis, so it all basically checks out.

Would be nice if someone got inspired to put the thing together.

Cheers,

I guess the lifting body design just works! I'm just amazed people were aware of it in the 50s
already :)
