Pacific American Launch Systems Phoenix Rocket 3D model

Phoenix was a family of single-stage reusable orbital launch vehicles and spacecraft proposed by the defunct Pacific American Launch Systems in the 1980s and 1990s. The 10 meter wide vehicle would reenter like a capsule, with its 24 main engines protected behind doors in the heat shield, and would perform a propulsive landing at the end of each mission. Phoenix was to be a highly-generalized vehicle, with variants proposed for crew launch, satellite launch, space station assembly, as well as lunar and Mars landers.

This file includes the Phoenix-C (Cargo) and Phoenix-E (Expeditionary, the crew variant) vehicle configurations. Both feature a deployable nosecone with a docking port underneath, extendable legs, and opening/closing panels in the heat shield for the main engines. Phoenix-C also has opening payload bay doors for satellite deployment
