摘要:A first stage earth to low orbit shuttle having mixed-mode propulsion and dual fuel rocket engines. A cargo bay is designed to receive a second stage dart vehicle capable of attaining geosynchronous orbit, deep space and lunar capabilities from launch at low earth orbit from the space shuttle. Upon return from geosynchronous orbit, the dart vehicle would reenter the atmosphere, and rebound toward an outward trajectory. At this point, projectiles would be launched for reentry and the dart vehicle can deviate cross range to a landing site.
