Space and science fiction Archive Project "Skylon" - heir HOTOL
The failure ksab 99.9 of the project HOTOL completely repulsed its initiator and developer Robert Parkinson's (and his team) a desire to develop new ships a lot of single use. They founded the firm Reaction Engines Ltd in the early 1990s. ksab 99.9 started to create a brand new "space plane", which was named "Skylon". As welcome engines RB454, which allowed to significantly reduce weight of the ship, still considered secret had to develop a new air-rocket ksab 99.9 launcher SABRE (Synergic Air Breathing Engine). Flight plan, this type of engine would use a mixture of liquid oxygen and customary at the initial stage of the flight until it reached the speed of Mach 5.5 (about 6,000 kmch), after which the setting switches only liquid oxygen. Skylon design based on carbon fibers with aluminum ksab 99.9 fuel tanks and ceramic "guard" to protect the body from the heat. Inside, in the middle of the ship had a cargo compartment dimensions ksab 99.9 of 12.3 x 4, 6 meters, allowing the use of standard aircraft containers. Full payload weight was 12 tons during delivery at low space orbit or 9.5 tons during the flight to the International Space Station. Unlike other projects Skylon designed for non-commercial use of space agencies and was designed for a 2-day mission that was much cheaper and faster than the "swimming" in the vastness of the cosmos American "shuttles". Starts on a commercial basis would reduce the price per launch to $ 10 million, instead of $ 150 million Americans. Was even made the calculation that if all goes well the situation could start the development of space tourism and the price on Beale would not exceed $ 100,000.
And yet, without major capital investment ksab 99.9 project Skylon unrealizable. According to estimates, formed in 1992, the total development ksab 99.9 cost of the British reusable spacecraft was $ 10 billion - money, you see, rather ksab 99.9 big. Amongst the Skylon 2025 involves the construction of several spaceports in the equatorial belt of the Earth, which will also require ksab 99.9 further maintenance. To finance the project attempts to combine several of the firms involved in the nationwide consortium of aerospace companies, but so far it has not led to success. In 1997, the project was considered by the European Space Agency (ESA) as a possible prototype FESTP (Future European Space Transportation Project). Somewhat later planned to use for the first non-governmental Skylon launch with astronauts on board, which would win a prize at $ 10 million. But, as we know, the British do it and failed - they outperformed all those Americans. Now the project Skylon, devoid of both public and private financial support, is in a "frozen" state.
