X-38
X-38 [NASA]
The X-38 was a prototype for a Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) for the International Space Station. The X-38 could have been reworked into a real manned CRV after it's unmanned orbital test flight.
The partially (ca. 80%) completed space craft was put into storage in January 2003, after the X-38 program has been put on hold.
