Ogawa Requests from Audience for Lectures Concept Design of Suborbital Rocket Plane for Space Tourism Keio University Ohkami Laboratory Yoshiaki Ohkami Masayoshi Ogawa

3 Space Ship Ship One One A New Trend in in Manned Space Flight The first manned space flight by a private company was successful to win X-prize X in October, 2004 NASA started to investigate the Orbital Space Plane to replace Space Shuttle Orbital Space Plane A New Trend in in Manned Space Flight

4 Definition Orbital vs. vs. Suborbital Orbit 7900 m/s Suborbital m/s 250 km 450 km EARTH - 50 km km - Aerosphere - Mesosphere - Outer Space Mission To Design the SoRP satisfying the following constraint Suborbital Rocket Plane Max Altitude Over 120 km Passengers Safety Price Comfort Over 3 pax and 1 crew 1 Fault/ Flight Under 0.25 M$/pax Under 3 G (Acceleration) To Achieve the Mission Requirements Price Safety Comfort Design Philosophy Simplicity Reusability Reliable Components

5 Design Sequence Selection Phase From so many Concepts, 4 concept will be picked in this Phase Follow Items will be taken account. Engine Type Take-off and Landing Type Stage Number Investigation Phase So Many Concepts Four Concepts About 4 Concepts, Vehicle Concept Verification will be done By Shape and Trajectory Simultaneous Optimization Method. And then Best Concept will be decided. Concept Design Phase One Concept About the Best Concept, More detailed Design will be done By Conventional Design Method using CAD Selection Phase

6 Concepts SoRP Concept will be generated by selecting elements of follows. Stage Number 1 Stage, 2 Stage, 3 Stage, 4 Stage Take-off Type Vertical or Horizontal SoRP Concept Landing Type Vertical or Horizontal Propulsion System Rocket, ABE * Reusability Fully or Partially * ABE: Air Breathing Engine Stage : The System that contributes Acceleration or Ascent to achieve Space Rocket (RKT) Rocket Propulsion System for Ascent and Acceleration Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) Rocket Propulsion System for only Lift-off Cut off from the Orbiter just after Lift-off Flyback Booster (FBB) Returnable Rocket Propulsion System Not using Aerodynamic Force in Ascent Airplane (PLN) Airplane System for Ascent and Acceleration Using Aerodynamic Force in Ascent Balloon (BLN) Balloon System just for Ascent or Descent Sled (SLD) Ground Take-off Support System ( e.g: MagRev,, Train, Ship, Ekranoplan ) Gauchito Space Shuttle Space Cub Space Ship One Wild Fire Magnet Revitalization Canadian Arrow Thunderbird Shuttle Flyback Booster AS&T Suborbital Spaceplane NEGEV-5 Hyperion SSTO Delta Clliper SLI Buran-T Eclipse Astroliner Orizont Keio SoRP
