The Dyna-Soar X-20 project was a late 1950s-early 1960s US Air Force program to develop a manned spacecraft that could be used for military missions. Unlike other manned spacecraft of that era, the Dyna-Soar glider was designed to be landed by its pilot like an aircraft. A team of test-pilot astronauts, many of whom had flown the X-15 rocket plane (including Neil Armstrong, who would go on to fly Gemini spacecraft and land on the moon in Apollo 11), was secretly chosen. Although the project ran six years, it suffered funding problems and was cancelled in 1963 before any missions were flown.
The X-20 Dyna-Soar Spaceplane 3D model is a fully-rigged Poser figure, sized for Poser people, with a detailed cockpit.
