The Air Force Research Laboratory AFRL and the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center are developing the RBS as the next generation launch vehicle that will significantly improve the affordability, operability, and responsiveness of future spacelift capabilities over current expendable launchers.
The vehicle would be launched vertically and landed horizontally. Further details, such as booster lift capability, are unavailable. Is this not just a worrying continuation of the ridiculous excuse to use of the military complex as a means for advancing technology? Makes to me little sense, since the cold war has been over for a while. It is too much in the stranglehold of Congress, which has mandated the development of the expensive and ultimately to be cancelled jobs program called the Senate Launch System SLS.
The rocket shot to a projected suborbital altitude of , feet about 42 kilometers above the Earth. The STIG A flight demonstrated a number of technologies that Armadillo is assessing for a human-passenger suborbital program, said Neil Milburn, vice president of program management at Armadillo Aerospace.
Armadillo's test program is geared toward providing a way for civilians to access suborbital space through a partnership with Space Adventures Ltd. The STIG A test flight was done as a private, unpublicized event at the request of Armadillo Aerospace, since the company is testing proprietary advanced launch technologies.
We are very pleased to have them as a valued tenant and look forward to many more Armadillo successes. Air Force to develop a program to test reusable booster systems and ground experiments. For the so-called Reusable Booster System program, Lockheed Martin has also entered into an agreement with the New Mexico Spaceport Authority to conduct flight test operations from the space terminal.
Voorhees said the company's liquid-engine-powered pathfinder is a vertically launched, horizontal landing craft. This demonstration vehicle would showcase quick turnaround and shakeout boost-back landing site technologies, he said.
According to a Lockheed Martin statement, an initial flight of the RBS vehicle is scheduled for As viewed by the Air Force, the Reusable Booster System is seen as a next- generation launch vehicle that will be more affordable, flexible and responsive than the currently available lineup of expendable launchers.
The small, unpiloted winged vehicle, dubbed "Revolver," has been used as a demonstration and data-gathering experiment. Some accounts of the craft pegged it at weighing pounds 91 kilograms and is about 8 feet 2.
