SpaceX testing VTVL prototype

The SpaceX Falcon 9 page hasn't been updated yet, but the SpaceX Brochure has the newest information for both Falcon 9 (such as it lifts 16mT to LEO) and Falcon Heavy: http://www.spacex.com/downloads/spacex-brochure.pdf

Yes, you should be able to just change all of the name "AS-512" to "AS-506" in the scenario file. Not sure if it's possible with NASSP, haven't tried it.
