Several interesting attempts at single stage to orbit have been designed but none brought to market. Hundreds of new space startups have created amazing design and construction possibilities and everyday new ones arrive.
SpacejetX has created a vertical launch s.s.t.o wing that can launch vertically into sub orbit or orbit and land at any large airport upon return to earth. It uses safe and clean hydrogen fuel and carries either passengers or cargo. This new vehicle has the ability to be manned or unmanned. Cargo can be shipped up to orbit , unloaded and new cargo loaded in orbit to be flown on it’s wing to any airport on earth. The Metis native Indian name of the vehicle is ” Pi he sew” or translated to English ” Thunderbird” .
A Lot of infrastructure is needed to move , mount , transport , rebuild , carry , cradle , inspect and get ready for the next launch in older designs.
SpacejetX Thunderbird can take off vertical from a basic launch pad and go into a long smooth sub orbital trip with passengers experiencing weightlessness then returning to the closest airport to disembark the new astronauts! Then the empty Thunderbird can take off from the airport under its own power back to a launch facility for inspection and refuel / reload /relaunch!
Or Thunderbird can launch vertical and bring cargo into orbit ,unload that cargo ,and reload new cargo while in orbit to be flown to any large airport on earth. Also SpacejetX Thunderbird can load passengers and launch vertically into low earth orbit to meet an orbiting station to connect . Then de orbit and fly to any large airport on earth to disembark new astronaut heros on the tarmac in front of the frenzied press and media!
Man will reach out and reach for the stars , man will reach out beyond the stars ,and man will eventually become sentient among the stars. Mass transit to and from orbit cheaply cleanly and safely. … SpacejetX 2022
Investment opportunities
- The program will start off with unique advantages in this new arena. SpacejetX Aerospace ltd will join forces with academia and investors to give the general public access to space and new tourism and aerospace industry investment in their communities. Federal participation is forthcoming and provincial and state participation is ongoing. Thunderbird a new way to reach 65 miles sub orbital weightlessness. What are the best attributes and design lessons learned from the x-33 ?. Bigger composite tanks weigh less ? Scale up the design more engines? More opportunities? SpacejetX your own future,,,,
