The 100/10/1 Rule.

Reunite Gondwanaland (Mary Shafer) wrote: Has anyone ever put anything into orbit with a single stage? I know we've managed SSTS, Single Stage To Space, but I don't think we've managed SSTO. No actual SSTOs, yet. There have been several SSTO-capable expendable rocket stages built, but nobody has ever thought it worthwhile to actually fly one of them as an SSTO. The S-IC and the Titan II first stage were both in the right ballpark, although both would need less engine thrust, and at least the Titan stage would need throttleable engines. Mitch Burnside Clapp's analysis said that straightforward Atlas and Delta variants could do it too. -- spsystems.net is temporarily off the air; | Henry Spencer mail to henry at zoo.utoronto.ca instead. | |
