ABSTRACT:
The invention, presents a new concept of spacecraft vehicle design and method of utilization in space flight operations. The system examines the major elements of launch, to orbit flight and return format. The system relies heavily on current space flight technology. Two spacecraft vehicles are utilized in conjunction to achieve Earth orbit. The vehicles are launched simultaneously in a joined configuration. Reaching approximately half distance to orbit, the vehicles separate with the booster vehicle returning to land and the transport vehicle continuing to Earth orbit. Terminating orbit space flight, the transport vehicle reenters the atmosphere returning to land. The details of spacecraft construction and space flight operations are complex and will not be discussed.
