It's the Discovery, but not from 2001, 2010 instead. The original model needs some love :(

Originally called the "Titov", but they changed last month. People fell out of favour (and were summarily shot).

Why did they strip the paint from it?? Damn that needs to be redone, its an awesome model

The Discovery's original model was actually scrapped at the end of 2001's production. Kubrick didn't want the film's models co-opted for low-budget productions, so he had them all destroyed. They actually had to rebuild it for 2010, and, if I remember correctly, it's slightly shorter than the original.

It's not stripped. The rust color is supposed to be volcanic dust. In 2010, when the Aleksi Leonov encounters the Discovery, it's been abandoned in a slowly degrading orbit above Io.
