    Description

    Imperial College Press Spaceflight Revolution by David Ashford

    A revolution in spaceflight is likely soon with the prospect of everyday access to orbit within fifteen years. Costly launch vehicles based on ballistic missiles will be replaced by spaceplanes using technology that exists today. In five years time a prototype could be built and with a further ten years of detailed development the design could approach airliner maturity reducing the cost of sending people into space some one thousand times to around US$20000.Spaceplane development has in effect been suppressed by entrenched thinking and short-term vested interests. But the present monopoly of large government space agencies is becoming unsupportable and the market that understands the very real opportunities for space travel will be reaching critical mass in the near future.This book examines these issues and shows why space tourism will one day become the single largest business in space and how astronomy and environmental science will be transformed by low-cost access making possible instruments vastly larger than those of today.show more
