- The Martin Marietta Spacemaster was a proposed design for the Space Shuttle.
The Spacemaster was a two-stage, reusable space transportation system.
It featured a delta-wing orbiter and a twin-fuselage booster craft.
The orbiter would sit in a recess in the booster during launch and ascent.
The liquid-propellant booster would carry the orbiter to a set altitude, then detach and be piloted back to land. After separation, the orbiter would ignite its own engines to reach orbit.
The Spacemaster was proposed in 1967. NASA did not order any Spacemasters, but it did order the Space Shuttle's external fuel tanks from Martin-Marietta. Martin Marietta is now part of Lockheed Martin

"Martin Marietta... Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time... A long time."
A concept rocket that seemed to know about.
Now it goes by the name Lockheed Kenobi 😂
I am an ex "Martian", MM employee. That is what CSD and LMSC employees would jokingly call us.
I was confused as to why a mining company was wanting to build a spacecraft. I didn't know they (partly) used to be in the aerospace business!
It was the Glenn L. Martin Company for 45 years before merging with Marietta Corp. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_L._Martin_Company
That first stage looks so... Kerbal.
I love it.
I feel like the most Kerbal rocket in real life was the Delta III
This was always my absolute favorite early Shuttle concept. One that I felt would have both then, and even today, been the most capable vehicles to solidify our presence in space. Thank you for making this rendering. You did an amazing job!
The shot from the airliner window is so realistic. Awesome video as always
agreed, totally blew my mind!
Someone is playing Crossy Road in the background chatter too!
You have such crazy amounts of talent to bring these concepts to life. Thanks for making these videos and sharing them with us!
Fantastic work as always. If NASA had pursued such goals back in the 80's.nthe space sector would have been so very different today
They tried, but didn't have the money
They were stalling and the 80s Shuttle was basically USAF DinoSoar...which they didn't do in the 60s in favor of supporting Mercury, Gemini, Apollo.
The Shuttle had missions we weren't aware of and was scaled to deliver and assemble what we eventually called the ISS.
Once the ISS was finished, so was the Shuttle program. It was ridiculous to taxi astronauts and groceries with a mega semi truck....when a Russian Uber would do.
@@STho205 It was still useful for MPLMs and other big supplies. That is a capacity we haven't replaced yet
dangerous concept , the shuttle in located between the two propellant tanks , in case of sudden explosion the vehicle will be directly hit by flames and debris
Didn't realize the size until the space station. Nice work.
Orbiter had internal LOX/LH2 tanks so it's a lot bigger than you'd think for the size of cargo it carries
Stunning as always. Beautifully realistic, and this one should have flown. The airliner shot is terrific. Gorgeous!
My dad worked for MM back in the early 60s during the height of the missile crisis. Worked at two different Titan II sites here in Idaho
I'm a child of the Viking books, and Collier's magazine articles... need I say more?
As always, you set the standard with incredible work. Well done.
This is my most favorite design so far😊
Earth's reflection in the radiators was awesome.
Awesome as always! An interesting fact is that the 'catamaran' booster design was considered again as part of the response to Challenger when they recommended replacing the Solid Rocket Boosters with Liquid Boosters. Got as far as wind tunnel testing on the design and noted that in reality the forward "wing-attachment" wasn't needed for the actual Shuttle-ET design so they moved the fly-back engines into the twin fuselages instead.
Brings back memory because I have a buddy who worked on those liquid Rockets. They spent like a billion dollars design and engineering. And went back to the solid. That's what he told me anyway
@@autocad3227 They'd been studying liquid boosters for decades but made it a priority once Challenger happened. But in the end the SRB's had more infrastructure and "sunk-cost" (and there was a major solid fuel ICBM motor replacement program scheduled) so they stuck with them. It's interesting that they actually had a Congressional "fight"over SRB vs LRB again for Artemis once the legacy (senior) Utah delegation was no longer in Congress
Interesting from what I read the Artemis boosters are not recoverable at this time. Is that correct?
@@autocad3227No the Artemis SRB's are not recovered. It was of questionable economics when they recovered the Shuttle SRB's as shipping them all the way to Utah and back for refurbishment and refilling was pretty expensive. The use of possible LRB"s developed and built in Alabama (or Florida) was likely going to be more expensive than using single use SRB's from Utah though the LRB's would likely have been single use as well given the projected flight rate for Artemis. And of course the new ICBM motors will likely be made here as well though the design is still up in the air.
Love the airline passenger pov,
it just makes the video fell like a peek into an alternate reality where this concept was actually built and flown.
Phenomenal work! I also stop what I'm doing to watch your videos. They are very inspiring.
Terrific animation! Looks photorealistic
One of your most realistic ones to date - excellent as always!!
Awesome work! I love watching your renderings, they make it so those of us who have limited "vision" can actually marvel at what could have been. Thank you!!
Fantastic. This was one of NASA’s designs that never made it to reality, but the blueprint.
The window seat and music was the cherry on top...
Compared to the shuttle's SRB smoke trails, the lack of a smoke trails from the LH2/LOX rocket propellant here looks a little uncanny but so cool.
Masterfully done! 🚀
Yes! Mach diamonds were perfect. Love it!

I stumbled onto this video, I honestly thought it was real, I had to read the comments to understand what I was watching. Absolutely amazing work, totally realistic
Dobre kino ! Wygląda jak prawdziwe.
Now, that is thinking big!!!!!
looks good , no hot staging issues.
If I didn’t know this was an animation I would have thought it was real, great work!
In a word... Amazing!
Great work.
😮 really cool! Congratulations!🎉
Great channel, excellent content, congratulations!!!👍
Well done, you had me believing it!
Nicely done!
Красивые мультики, только вот движков для таких аппаратов у вас до сих пор нет.
I briefly worked for MM as a contractor during a merger frenzy in the early 90s starting with GE Aerospace to MM so fast we couldn’t get a sign by the receptionist fast enough. Had to print out their logo on my laser printer and tape it on the wall so customers knew they were in the right office! Then we merged with Lockheed a few months later to become the monster Lockheed Martin. At least I didn’t miss a check even if they didn’t provide direct deposit. Cheapskates!
Brilliant graphical art.
Hello, I think that without spaceX this would be the best proposal, it is simpler and more intelligent in the long term than the space shuttle whose end was in 2011 😟, this idea was proposed in 1967, it is a great idea ❤️. Thank you very much for the video, greetings from Uruguay 👍
Awesome! I’ll take two. 🤘
Now, it this would only be in reality, it would be great.
Another great one!
That would actually be REALLY cool if they could create that concept.
Great video! Nice mach diamonds in the exhaust.
They STOLE my DESIGN! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
Bot?
Yea prob bot
Wow!!! Great job!
These videos look so real eventually we’re not gonna be able to tell what’s real anymore
Nice retooling of the old space Angel series
I wish we could see the designs they're cooking up now
Very interesting concept and great video as always!:)
That is probably the next evolution of Statship System. With reusable boosters.
Fantastic.
Man, imagine being the booster flyback crew at launch...
Very good!🎉
*Spectacular*
The one they should build.
those crossbraces are so trippy cause they're gonna be big wings if you want it or not, but also so fat you can fit a row of engines in them? The booster section would have been a really odd airplane, and if they had built it, it would probably have been test flown a bunch of times. I wonder if they could have done a horizontal takeoff with an empty one.
This program lost out to what would become the Space Shuttle. Martin Marietta's vehicle depicted in this video was derived from the X-24 design which was part of a lifting body research program named PILOT (1963-1975). The lifting bodies were used to demonstrate the ability of pilots to maneuver and safely land wingless vehicles designed to fly back to Earth from space and land like an airplane at a predetermined site. For the video, Martin Marietta's vehicle was superimposed on footage of an actual Shuttle launch taken out of the window of a commercial airliner.
A very convincing cgi, well done.
Excellent CGI video. Congrats.
If the SpaceX Super Booster craps out, a triple-modular version of the Spacemaster booster could be pressed into service. Each module would have 11 Raptor 2 engines. The benefit would be that each module could be ground-tested full thrust/full duration.
Sort of like SpaceX does now with the Falcon Heavy and its three F9-derived boosters (core and two side boosters) each with nine Merlin 1D engines and each booster ground tested before shipping to KSC for launch.
Nice vid but the audio should be lagging behind the picture for it seems taken from a distance away... other then that NICELY done!!!
I love Hazegrayart videos!!
Martin Marietta is now Lockheed Martin.
what software do you use for this great CG videos?
Ms paint
Amazing! So
Realistic…thanks for your work.
The shuttle NASA should have built. Could’ve used it to ferry parts, components, crew, and fuel to LEO to build moon and Mars spacecraft as well.
I saw this thing in a shuttle concept picture and I didn't know what it was called until now
A great concept. Would have used the F1-B. They had them close to 2 million Lb thrust (1.9?)
The boosters used the same LH2/LOX engines as the orbiter only 14 of them for superior thrust on lift off. Probably wouldn't have worked as well though as LH2 engines have serious thrust to weight issues due to the light exhaust product.
Nice
The thumbnail made it look stupid, but it looks very credible in motion.
Oh yeeah
This is another thing that i gonna add to my "To do Recreat in KSP" list
The development can still happen. If they can reinvent the Saturn V with the SLS/Artemis program, surely they can update the shuttle design with this launch method. As well material technology has evolved significantly over the last 40 years so heat tiles can be much stronger and highly resistant. 3D printing can speed up the production of heat shields to make them cost efficient.
Me when I try and make the most absurd thing possible in KSP
China keeps a panicking when it sees these vids.
I like this we need this in real life
最近のＣＧ上手くなってきてる!❤
Funny to think that had they chose this design, the Spacemaster would still be flying. Atleast imo.
Was the booster's return piloted from onboard, or remotely piloted, or completed via computer-programing?
Thought this was real until I read the comments. We are capable of such great things but unfortunately
as a species pursuing a monetary existence is so wrong. Best to work for the betterment of mankind and be happy.
money is based on promises that we make when we work share / specialize so that we can have a very efficient and comfortable existence for the betterment of all of us.
The problem we have is that 1) the limited validity timeframe of those promises is not being communicated and 2) the form of institutionalized promises we are legally bound to use are monopolizable.. both together give greedy individuals leverage over the rest of us while at the same time forcing our economies to grow or they will take "their" ball and go home (this is what inflation targets by central banks try to counter, but this fails as they can't make inflation only allow it to happen which in turn requires new promises that do not appear under saturation conditions).
Yeah, it's all pretty complex and complicated which is why NOBODY is working on solving the problem. Welcome to my world.
Tis most unfortunate that the CGI team forgot the column of smoke/vapor that always accompanies launches in atmosphere from the pad up to 50 miles above ground
Wow!
Since it used liquid fuel, could land both sections (fully reusability) and it looks like it would have been safer and less expensive. NASA should have went with this design and might still need to use this design.
As if a commercial flight would be allowed that close.
The shock diamonds look like their plaid
any info on the projected cargo bay dimensions and cargo mass capacity to leo?
A ideia é bem boa.
Me parece executável.
No commercial flights would ever be allowed that close to any launches. Great video though!
These Launch vehicles look viable.
My question is .
Are the fuel tanks in these concept vehicles recoverable and reuseable.
Would be very cost effective
Are the rockets fixed with aluminium tape?
Cmon man, like they wouldnt shut down the air space for a fkn rocket launch.
Probably couldn’t have been successful back when it was proposed but could be done today.
Está es una gran idea
Oh... that's a big boi... you don't really get the scale until it's docked with the early "power tower" Alpha/ISS concept.
They will never put the fuel tank alongside the crew cabin again.
the ambient sound at the very start sounded like zombies saying a certain word
Even aliens think boosters are sketchy as fuck.
So um lemme see if I've got this right....the delta wing orbiter is the "Spacemaster" and the "twin-fuselage booster craft" is the "Spaceslave" ?
Remember me ?1966
lmao @ the general ad
Hey look, it is the state of the Iss from my Pfp!
How long is it staying up?
It's almost like the lunar module setup in the tv series UFO
She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went.
