* The SKYLON Spaceplane
Mark Hempsall, Future Programmes Director at Reaction Engines Ltd
Currently every mission to space destroys a rocket costing between $45 million
and $200 million and taks around three years to build. The vision of SKYLON is
a fully reusable spaceplane that can take off from a runway like an aeroplane,
reach orbit with 15 tonnes of cargo, and then return to land back like a
conventional aeroplane. SKYLON will reduce the cost of reaching space by an
order of magnitude. This talk outlines the technologies that are being developed
to achieve this vision by 2020.
