| Title : | Great expectations : assessing the potential for suborbital transportation | | Material Type: | ISU Team Project reports | | Publisher: | Illkirch-Graffenstaden [France] : International Space University | | Publication Date: | 2008 | | Pagination: | xiv, 130 p. | | Layout: | ill. | | Size: | 30 cm | | General note: | Includes bibliographical references and index. | | Languages : | English (eng) | | Abstract: | The ability to travel the globe at ultra high speed is one such dream that still waits to be fulfilled. An alternative is to propel a vehicle into space on an arc that, instead of going into orbit, returns to Earth at a final destination in less than an hour. It is this concept, suborbital point to point transportation, which this report investigates.
The report has approached suborbital point to point transportation from a multidisciplinary perspective, probing the legal, business and operational topics as well as the technical requirements. | | Host institution : | International Space University, Strasbourg | | Host country : | France | | ISU program : | Master of Space Studies | | Record link: | http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=236 |
