According to Mr. Syromyatnikov, the Rocket Space Corporation Energia develops a re-usable space vehicle of the so-called hybrid type. This is an alternative project to the space vehicle Clipper. "The concept is based on a combination of capsule space vehicles (Soyuz) and the winged space vehicles (Buran), the project aims to ensure more safety for space missions," said Mr. Syromyatnikov. The new vehicle will fly as a capsule the longest part of the journey. The lander's wings will be kept folded and protected by heat insulation. The protective screen will be released during the reentry and the vehicle will fold out the winds to land as an airplane.

It's time to bring out the alien technology and wow them all with the new plasma ion power system and heat shields. It's gonna break up and burn during reentry just like the last one did.

I think they plan to have ejector seats too in the test vehicle only though not in the end product. http://www.russianspaceweb.com/kliper.html > Double-A > Russia to develop unique spaceships to exclude tile-chipping accidents > 07/29/2005 10:57 there is no such place as Russia.

One russian dude lost to Seward on the island of Little Diomede Island, and got everything east of that. Strangly, The State of Texas named this game "Texas Holdem" But it stated on Little Diomede Island in 1867. It should have been called "Alaska Holdem" simply because it is so cold you gotta holdem em! > Note this page has a lot of images in it and is about 1.4 megabytes to > load. > > http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=229&start=11 The bird strike was quite a picture. Looks a bit like a bug hitting the front of a car. Hmmmm ... See http://tinyurl.com/82n8p for link to picture RL |
