  3. 🇮🇳 It is proposed to develop Transportable/Mobile #LaunchSystems that can operate from ground/ aerial/ sea-based platforms. The system should be able to change from transportable position to ‘Launch ready position” in not more than 60 minutes. #India has also tested a series of reusable #spaceplanes thespacereview.com/article/484

  8. Might be silly, but hey, why not? It's been a while since I delved into spaceflight any...maybe I should return to that topic sometime. 😌

    My old, simple, but hopefully nicely atmospheric piece "Two generations of spaceplanes".

"Making #European 🇪🇺 #spaceplanes a reality" - While a multi-million-euro new investment in #POLARIS would be significant for the company, the opaque nature of this investment and the vehicles with which it was executed leave us with more questions than answers. europeanspaceflight.com/polari

  18. This baby should have been the successor to the Space Shuttle. Sure, SSTO wasn't practical, but this same sort of airframe, launched on an off-the-shelf Atlas V? Would have worked great, and been the coolest and sexiest spacecraft of all time. The public would have *loved* it.
