Default More details from Blue Origin

A quote from the Blue Origin page:


The Blue Origin RLV would be comprised of a propulsion module and a
crew capsule and would use hydrogen peroxide and kerosene as
propellants. The RLV would be fully reusable and would operate
autonomously under control of on-board computers, with no ground
control during nominal flight conditions. The RLV would launch
vertically from a concrete pad and would land vertically in an area
near the launch pad.

Blue Origin intends to perform unmanned RLV developmental test flights
from the proposed facility beginning in the third quarter of 2006. Once
the technology has been thoroughly tested, Blue Origin would begin
passenger flight service using the RLV at a maximum rate of 52 launches
per year. The RLV would carry three or more passengers per operation.
