You mean the Solar Dynamics Observatory mission? That was a AV401 which I already have available. I also have additional logos that can be provided on a case by case request, and I do have the SDO.

Wow, that would be a fun one to build. I wonder if one could make it shoot out a miniature probe under streamer at the deployment. Now THAT would be awesome.

That looks like a very hot mission, literally. I am sure before it flies some logos can be made to make the fairing representative.

Yeah, the SPC probe in the suite I'm working on (https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/sweap/about_sweap.html) peeks out around the heatshield to look at the Sun and will get over 1000C (https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/sweap/about_plunge.html)
Please let us know when the kits are available!

Thanks, I've been delayed on getting this one released due to issues (time)....available time has been at a premium lately but the parts are all ready, and the kitting starts this week.
Thanks,

The kit is now making its ways to my 4 vendors in the next week, I believe this is my best kit yet.
Congratulations ! Very nice ROCKET. Iwant to build one Atlas V OTV, but I can not find plans for it. I am an old spacemodelist from Romania, since 1969. I built many rockets more than 30, from Atlas Able to Saturn 5. Now I am an retired air force general, but this hobby is still present in my life . This year I'll be the leader of the Scale judjes team at the World Space Models Championships in Bulgaria. Best regards, Ion

Ordered and got mine within the past few months; finally got it assembled during the Thanksgiving Holidays. Made a few modifications (mainly the launch lugs and recovery method/shock cord placement). Very handsome model and can't wait to fly it.
