[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] ^Also, from Memory Alpha: [QUOTE][qb]The Copernicus was not identified by name on screen, but was identified by production sources. ILM's Model Shop Supervisor Jeff Mann has stated, "We had an incident in the beginning of the film, where we needed a Reliant-class [sic.], so we put a new paint job on the old Reliant model, changed a small shuttle called the Grissom to the Copernicus and we added a back half to the shuttlecraft that Scotty flew around in Star Trek: The Motion Picture." (The Making of the Trek Films, 3rd ed., p. 68)[/qb][/QUOTE]By "putting a new paint job" on the Reliant, I'm assuming he means that he changed the name and registry. He definitely changed the "small shuttle's" name to Copernicus, but says nothing about what new number he gave it (and, like the Saratoga, he probably didn't remember anyway). [/QB][/QUOTE]
