The Reusable Launch Vehicle Landing Experiment or RLV-LEX was the second test flight in the RLV Technology Demonstration Programme following the Hypersonic Flight Experiment. The demonstration trials will pave the way for the two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) fully reusable launch vehicle.
The goal of the Starship launch system is to be a fully reusable orbital launch and reentry vehicle. [170] The Starship launch system consists of two stages: a Super Heavy booster and a Starship spacecraft; [171] both have a body made from SAE 304L stainless steel [172] and are designed to hold liquid oxygen and liquid methane. Super Heavy and ...
Hypersonix Launch Systems is an Australian space startup developing scramjet and scramjet-based access-to-space technology. In particular, the company is focused on reusable "green-fuelled" launch technology. [1] The company specialises in hypersonic vehicle and scramjet engines to provide sustainable and affordable access to space. [2]
The Space Shuttle orbiter, SpaceShipTwo, Dawn Mk-II Aurora, and the under-development Indian RLV-TD are examples for a reusable space vehicle (a spaceplane) as well as a part of its launch system. More contemporarily the Falcon 9 launch system has carried reusable vehicles such as the Dragon 2 and X-37 .
The Orbital Sciences X-34 was intended to be a low-cost testbed for demonstrating "key technologies" that could be integrated into the Reusable Launch Vehicle program. It was intended to be an autonomous pilotless craft powered by a "Fastrac" liquid-propellant rocket engine, capable of reaching Mach 8 and performing 25 test flights per year.
Aug. 31—As the countdown to the first mission to the moon in decades gets underway, a Greenville-based rocket company plans to begin launching a hypersonic missile into space. Exos Aerospace has ...
India is pushing ahead with the development of ground and flight test hardware as part of an ambitious plan for a hypersonic cruise missile. [4]The Defence Research and Development Laboratory's Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) is intended to attain autonomous scramjet flight for 20 seconds, using a solid rocket launch booster.
The vehicle will be used to carry hypersonic weapons systems during their development. Component makers could test engines, sensors and communications equipment aboard future reusable versions of ...
