More details from Blue Origin
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8197350/#050613a
http://www.vanhornadvocate.com/ (middle of page) http://www.blueorigin.com/web_description.htm 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. |
