Wingless, maneuverable M-2 lifting body, evolved by NASA Ames Research Center, is capable of orbiting Earth and making aircraft-style landing departure from conventional aircraft and space vehicles; it could give astronaut over 1000 mi of lateral maneuverability after entering Earth's atmosphere from space, and allow him to achieve horizontal landing at almost any suitable area within United States; M-2, consisting of slender half-cone body with blunted nose, has boat tailed afterbody; otherwise, elevons, landing gear, vertical fins and cockpit canopy are its only discernible features.
