Air Force Study Points to Reusable Orbiter
"Newly declassified details of the analysis
behind the U.S. Air Force's decision to opt for a next-generation Reusable Booster System (RBS) reveal a long-term preference for a rocket-based, combined-cycle upper- stage orbiter over the nearer-term expendable solution." See: http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,220472,00.html |

See: http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,220472,00.html I have proposed a highly reusable booster system as well. http://www.scribd.com/doc/31261680/Etdhlrlv-Addendum http://www.scribd.com/doc/30943696/ETDHLRLV http://www.scribd.com/doc/35439593/S...-Satellite-GEO to support serious power from space. Once this is in place you can engage in a program to improve engine efficiency and structure fraction. This basically involves putting colloidally suspended lithium particles surrounded by a film of frozen methane inside the liquid hydrogen tank, and by mixing liquid oxygen and liquid fluorine in the oxidizer tank. This simultaneously increases fuel density while increasing engine performance. So, plain vanilla out of the starting gate, we build a subscale vehicle around RL-10 engine parts and an annular aerospike nozzle - to loft 35 tons to orbit. Then, after gaining experience build an ET sized system around RS-68 engine parts the same way - to loft 700 tons to orbit. An advanced propulsion program increases the capacity of the smaller system to 100 tonnes - and when applied to the larger system increases its capacity to 2,000 tonnes. Increasing the size and capabilities of the power satellites. The laser energy from these satellites are then used to implement a powerful laser rocket system that improves things even further. These are the first steps to making industrial use of the inner solar system. |

You're worse than my dog begging for attention... At least no one is jacking his name yet. That's next. This is the usenet, asshole, anyone can jack a thread, a nym, a name, anything goes. That just chafes your ass, doesn't it. Does it chafe your ass as much as the United States Air Force using an NK-33 and/or an RD-180 to launch their most valuable space based surveillance assets? "the outline Pathfinder is baselined with an NK-33 liquid oxygen (LOX)/kerosene rocket engine" "The vehicle is outlined with a gross liftoff weight around 230,000 lb. and will be powered by a LOX/kerosene RD-180 EELV engine." "Another AFRL demonstration program—Hydrocarbon Boost—is developing a large LOX/kerosene rocket engine for the full-size booster." Oh really? I though the senate and congress was nixing that idea, which remarkably was dictated by name and design in Obama's F.Y 2011 proposal. Get a grip, Findley, you haven't had a single original idea here, ever. Here's my gratuitous usenet spam since you don't have anything to offer: http://www.lifeform.net/tsiolkovsky/Propulsion.pdf NASA, the senate and congress just don't get it. |
