摘要
A space transporation system comprises several different modular units usable in a plurality of different configurations for different payloads and space missions. The units include a first stage unit for providing primary propulsive force during launch, a payload carrying unit, which may be an orbital vehicle or simple payload canister, and an auxiliary propulsion unit for providing additional power either during launch or space flight. The units are all demountably securable together, and preferably all include aerodymanic devices such as fixed or swing wings for a controlled return to Earth. The first stage unit can act either as a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle carrying internal or external payload, or as the first stage of a multiple stage launch configuration including a payload unit and auxiliary propulsion units.
