Example sentences (13)
Airbreathing SSTO Some designs for SSTO attempt to use airbreathing jet engines that collect oxidizer and reaction mass from the atmosphere to reduce the take-off weight of the vehicle.
However, the nonrecurring costs associated with design, development, research and engineering (DDR&E) of reusable SSTO systems are much higher than expendable systems due to the substantial technical challenges of SSTO.
Designed as a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) reusable winged launch vehicle, it was to be fitted with a unique air-breathing engine, the RB545 or Swallow, to be developed by the Rolls-Royce company.
It is one of only a few prototype SSTO vehicles ever built.
Print. reusable SSTO vehicles are typically an impractical choice even when using the highest performance propellants available.
Reusable SSTO vehicles offer the promise of reduced launch expenses by eliminating recurring costs associated with hardware replacement inherent in expendable launch systems.
Roton main From 1999 to 2001 Rotary Rocket attempted to build a SSTO vehicle called the Roton.
Some SSTO vehicles simply use very high pressure engines which permit high ratios to be used from ground level.
SSTO rockets could simply carry two sets of engines, but this would mean the spacecraft would be carrying one or the other set "turned off" for most of the flight.
The fuel used is orders of magnitude cheaper, and, if a single stage to orbit design SSTO avoided some of this refurbishment, costs would drop, although this could require more repairs.
The propellant mass fraction ( ) of a vehicle can be expressed solely as a function of the mass ratio: : The structural coefficient ( ) is a critical parameter in SSTO vehicle design.
Using this concept, some aerospace analysts believe the way to lower launch costs is the exact opposite of SSTO.
With light enough engines this might be reasonable, but an SSTO design requires a very high mass fraction and so has razor-thin margins for extra weight.
