Idea Does Anyone have info about Parom space tug?

[santy86]

I have been recently looking at the Russian future space programs and "Parom" together with "Kliper" appears to be very important.

I might think of developing a "Parom" for orbiter.

Kliper and Parom were shelved in 2006 for lack of funds and support from Roscosmos.
Some info is available here: http://www.russianspaceweb.com/parom.html

I should warn that the Kliper 2006 winged orbiter (full version for SuperZemiorka Soyuz 3) and the Parom tug are in my list for development items.

Which gives me a feeling that you looked not recently enough - the Clipper has been officially buried as a project and the Parom simply not spoken about for 2 years up to now.

Which, of course, is not an obstacle for having them in Orbiter.

IMO, flying the transformer version might be more fun (notice the fourth one in the row):

you're right. I saw a video on youtube but it appears that it's older than 2 years. Now I actually realized that for Kliper and Parom there's no future
I also saw that there are projects for a new Soyuz-derived spacecraft on Russian space web.

I could help Istochnikov in coding (If I won't be buried in exams and when he's ready) but I am very bad in 3D modeling.

thanks for help
