A Fine Ship: Dassault Aviation’s Civillain Suborbital Spacecraft
Posted by mistergroonk in Space, Technology, The Future on September 10, 2010
Dassault Aviation wants to put civilians in space, too, and it plans to accomplish that with this air-launched reusable hypersonic vehicle. Based on NASA’s X-38 experimental plane, this one will launch off the wing of a commercial aircraft flying at about 25,000 feet, rocketing its six passengers at Mach 3.5 up to 62 miles high.
