Concept Model. Details: Possibly Shuttle Centaur Varient. Date: 1982

from SDASM Archives

• TVL1970 said:

  Model of the Centaur-G Prime booster and the Ulysses probe it was originally slated to boost. After the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099), the liquid fueled Centaur-G and Centaur-G Prime boosters would not be used aboard any Space Shuttle flights, as the risks associated with a liquid-fueled payload were deemed to be unacceptable. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_(spacecraft)

• Andrew Granston said:

  This is the longer version of Shuttle Centaur, Centaur G. It was to be used by NASA for interplanetary probes like Ulysses (pictured).
