SPACESHIP ONE-This orbital passenger carrying space plane features a rubber nitrous

oxide hybrid rocket engine .The space plane is carried under the belly of the white nightcarrier aircraft .The white night drops spaceship one at 50000 ft. Spaceship one thenclimbs nearly vertically.

SPACESHIP TWO-

Spaceship two is commercial follow-on to spaceship one, designed tocarry two pilots and six passengers on a sub orbital space trip lasting two and a half hours.

BLACK ARMADILLO-

Black armallido is powered by four hydrogen peroxide enginesfeeding from a 1000-gallon composite fuel tank. The pilot and two passengers sit withtheir backs to the nosecone. This unusual position is taken to ensure that the occupantsencounter reentry deceleration on their backs as the vehicle reenters the atmosphere nosefirst. The rocket lifts off vertically, and at burnout coasts up to 100 km (62.5miles). Therocket makes a nose first reentry, with foam insulation protecting the aluminum nosesection from reentry heating.

ASTRIUM SPACE JET-

This is a space plane designed to carry four passengers’ 100km intospace, where they will experience three minutes or more of weightlessness during the 90-

minute trip. The Astrium space jet will take off and land conventionally from a standardairport using its jet engine.

SPACECUB-

Space cub is a sub orbital four sector rocket vehicle aimed at thefuture hobbyist market as an all-inclusive kit for an expected price of somewhere between a quarter and half $million, though you’ll have to supply the fuel yourself.

SPACECLIPPER -The space clipper SC-1 is a sub orbital reusable space plane

proposed by space clipper international, designed to carry up to ten passengers and two-flight crew to an altitude of 140km and back. Although it descends horizontally, it takesoff and lands vertically.

CANADIAN ARROW-

The Canadian Arrow is a two sub orbital rocket designed to takethree people into space and back. The first stage is a liquid propellant stage whoseaerodynamic shape and thrust chamber are closely based on the V2 rocket. The secondstage uses solid rocket engines to rise to an eventual maximum altitude of approximately70miles.

DAVINICI-

Davinici is a reusable vertical takeoff and landing vehicledesigned to carry three people into space and back. It does not takeoff from ground,however. Instead, a piloted hot air balloon lifts the vehicle to an altitude of 40000ft. TwinLOX/kerosene engines then ignite with the vehicle suspended at a 60 degree altitude, and

davinici detaches from underneath the balloon before assuming vertical orientation andclimbing to 130000ft. The engines then cut out and davinici continues to rise withoutthrust to an eventual height of 120km before descending back into the atmosphere, after approximately three minutes of weightlessness.
