Space Freight Cargo Vehicle and Concept:
The freight transportation vehicle is designated as a Reusable Horizontal Takeoff Horizontal Landing Air & Space Craft or a HTHL Spaceplane, we operate in a similar manner to Air Freight Cargo but including Space.
The reusability and safety measures incorporated differentiate us in both Reusability, Capability and Functionality in comparison to general Space Launch Vehicles.
Unlike normal launch vehicles requiring a specific space launch site near a coast or requiring extensive downrange for safety the spaceplane is capable of operating from a conventional airport runway, enabling low volume inland locations of becoming orbital launch and recovery sites.
All Spaceplane(s) Annual Flight Operation(s):
250 per Year, 5 per Week, 1 per Day.
Spaceplane Business Use Cases:
Suborbital:
Hypersonics
Point to Point Cargo Ferrying
Microgravity Testing of Experimental Hardware
Ferrying Small Launchers to Boundary of Space
Orbital:
Point to Point Cargo Ferrying
Orbital Research & Development and Manufacturing
Orbital Maneuvering & Repair
Orbital Deployment & Recovery
Ferrying Launchers for Extended Range Capabilities
