Jets and rockets will be combined in a powerfull Spacecraft
Last Updated on 01 May 2009 Written by InfoWeb
ESA is planning big for the next decade, its recent actions show. It envisions and supports the construction of a groundbreaking project meant to yield a spacecraft capable of behaving both as a jet airplane and as a rocket. Basically, the new system will be capable of lift-of from an airfield, deliver up to 12 tonnes of cargo into orbit, and then return to land on the same runway. Such an innovation would forever change the nature of spaceflight as we know it, and would open the gates of development for this $150 billion-per-year industry.

| The newly-installed Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 is visible at center of the International Space Station's starboard truss. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, is the largest scientific collaboration to use the orbital laboratory. This investigation is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and made possible by funding from 16 nations. Led by Nobel Laureate Samuel Ting, more than 600 physicists from around the globe will be able to participate in the data generated from this particle physics detector. The mission of the AMS is, in part, to seek answers to the mysteries of antimatter, dark matter and cosmic ray propagation in the universe. Image Credit: NASA... | ||
