This is my idea of what a space shuttle would look like if it was built in 2050. I will probably be working on a more detailed version of this.
It does feature opening doors and a satellite. Top speed without boost is just over 500mph (at 2000ft). Top speed with boost (used for going into 'space' [above 100,000ft]) is just over 2550mph (at 2000ft), and just under 4000mph (at 50,000ft).

AG1+VTOL Up: Opening Doors.
AG2+VTOL Up: Retracting Arm For Satellite.
AG3+VTOL Up: Releasing And Unfolding Satellite.
AG4+Thottle: Boost For High Speed (will need to adjust the trim slightly).
AG5: VTOL RCN Activation (these will need to be turned on at 100,000ft+).

    Fly up to 400,000. Shut down engines. Release satellite. Turn nose down and accelerate at full thrust. Which one will hit the ground first, the shuttle or the satellite? According to SP physics they’ll hit the ground at the same time. But a nice build anyways!

    Ironically this is the exact shuttle design I use in the game Kerbal Space Program.
