This ship is based on a depiction in the TOS reference book, "Spaceflight Chronology". The description to the picture says, that this is the DY-100 Class "SS Copernicus". It also says, that this ship is 100m long and has 6 chemical boosters for lift-off. Well, the ship obviously only has 5 boosters, and it looks only remotely like the DY-100 Class that we know from TOS: "Space Seed". It rather resembles the depiction of the DY-500 Class in the same book, although the engine section is different, and the cargo containers have a slightly different shape. This is very similar to the resemblance between the DY-500 Class "SS Mariposa" from the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" and the uprated DY-500 Class also from the "Spaceflight Chronology". So, i decided to list this as a DY-500 variant and compared to the 145m long "UNSS Wheeler", this model is about 160m long. This at least makes the cargo containers about the same size as on the "SS Mariposa" and the conning tower is wide enough for a single person to stand inside of it. At 100m, there would have been only about 1m left from wall to wall (at least for this 3D-Model).
