"Monolith IX" First Version

3D Studio MAX 2.5
1999

My first design for the "Monolith IX" faster-than-light shuttlecraft, roughly based on the Sänger project designs with a strong emphasize on atmospheric flight and airborne launch (piggyback from a carrier aircraft).

It has already been used on the first scene ever finished for "Kurzzeithelden", a newscaster talking about the forthcoming launch of the spacecraft, with an "archive" clip in the background, showing an earlier landing maneuver on the saltlake.
