A VISION OF FUTURE SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper presents our concepts of the future space transportation systems to exchange visions among space communities in order to align their efforts towards purposes as coherent as possible. The core ideas are assembling space facilities in space, air launches with up to medium size rockets and recoveries with lifting surfaces, preferably shifting configurations. Stressed are amalgamation of aeronautics and astronautics, public participation to aerospace activities and mitigation of various regulative obstacles to those vigorous efforts.
