New (future) spacecraft tested

Read here

"
Spaceport America has launched two unmanned commercial rockets and touts plans for space tourism, but some secret rocket research also is being done.
...
This prototype of Lockheed Martin's new spacecraft is only one-fifth the size the future vehicle would be.

It looks a bit like the space shuttle and would fly to space and return the same way. But even the big version would not carry people, just satellites.
