SUMMARY:Realising the SKYLON Spaceplane - Mark Hempsell\, Reaction Engines
DTSTART:20140121T193000Z
DTEND:20140121T210000Z
UID:TALK50002@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Geoff Hale
DESCRIPTION:Currently every mission to space destroys a rocket costing bet
 ween $45 million and $200 million and takes around three year to build.  T
 he vision of SKYLON is a fully reusable spaceplane that can take off from 
 a runway like an aeroplane\, reach orbit with 15 tonnes of cargo\, and the
 n return to land back on the runway.  This will make access to space more 
 available\, more reliable and cheaper.  The talk outlines the technologies
  that are being developed to achieve this vision by the early 2020s.
