Orbital Sciences Corporation X-34

First Flight: N/A
Mission: Serve as development test bed for reusable, low cost space launch vehicle
Major Accomplishments (Projected): The project's goal is to reduce the cost of launching payloads into orbit from today's $10,000 per pound of  $1,000 per pound.
Power Source: Fastrac Engine (oxygen and kerosene)
Wing Span: 27.7'
Length:  58.3'
Maximum Achieved Speed: Mach 8+ (Projected)
Maximum Achieve Altitude:  250,000' +(Projected)

Additional Information: The X-34 utilizes many cutting edge technologies, materials and manufacturing techniques including composite structures, composite reusable propellant fuel tanks, an advanced thermal protection system, low-cost avionics, leading-edge tiles, and autonomous flight operation systems. This project was cancelled in March, 2001.
