Radian Single Stage to Orbit Space Plane

Posted by in category: space travel

Radian Aerospace has $31 million of funding to develop a single stage to orbit spaceplane. It will use a 3,000 meter long sled to get it up to launch speed. It will deliver 2.27 tons to anywhere on Earth in under one hour. It can land on a regular runway.

The Spaceplane will be about as long as a Boeing 787 and as wide as a 737.

The spaceplane is designed to be fully reusable for up to 100 missions. They plan a 48-hour turnaround time between flights and a 90-minute on-demand launch capability, significantly reducing costs and increasing mission flexibility.
