| Description: |
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. |
