Aerospace Plane

Integrated launch systems that include aerospace plane (ASP) and another heavy winged vehicle (plane or better Wing-in-Ground effect vehicle) as a booster are reviewed. It is shown that WIG-vehicle with a mass of 1500 ton or more is capable to carry ASP with initial mass of 500 ton and landing mass of 60-70 ton. Ekranoplane can provide ASP with the primary speed of Mach 0.5-0.65 in the required direction that allows lowering the design requirements to ASP's wing area and engines. A number of other advantages from the offered transport system are linked to possible use of WIG-vehicle at ASP landing. Heavy WIG-vehicle is unique vehicle for realizing the progressive idea of docking to descending ASP, allowing expanding opportunities of its landing. The problem of ASP horizontal landing without undercarriage by docking with other flying vehicle at the last stage of decent and the requirements to control systems for relative motion control of both vehicles are discussed. The progressive idea of joining space launch technologies with marine technologies is developed. It is especially important for countries with strongly limited areas of land territory but with easy access to the ocean.

Aerospace Plane

The article addresses the establishment of a legal regime concerning liability questions of the aerospace plane. The existing air and space law, as laid down for example in the Chicago Convention and the Outer Space Treaty -especially the definition of the words ‘aircraft’ and ‘space object’-is used as a starting point. The applicability of the existing regimes to the aerospace plane is then evaluated. Two concrete cases, namely liability resulting from damage to third parties on the suiface of the earth and liability after collisions, are presented in depth to illustrate the legal questions that this new hybrid craft will raise. Finally some modest suggestions are made as to the resolution of the conflicts.
