One of two ex 475th WEG drones acquired for use in a joint NASA/USAF and Kelly Space & Technology test programme titled Eclipse Project. This explored the concept of a reusable tow launch vehicle where a manned QF-106 was towed behind a C-141A. 90010 acted as a backup aircraft and did not participate in any of the six test flights that were carried out from 12/97 to 2/98.
