«Independent»: the launch of space plane "Skelon" Space Flight mid-next decade

Space scientists hope to be in the middle of the next decade to change the way the human penetrate the atmosphere to travel to space, through their development of a new engine would launch space plane "Skelon" that can be used in multiple space flights.

The newspaper «Independent» British in a recent report on this subject that the rocket engine, which works based on the combustion of the air and called «Sabre» who used the plane of new space is not a products agency «NASA» the space, nor the product of a pilot project supported financially strong, but it is Walid purposeful thought of a British engineer named Alan Bond. 

The newspaper pointed to the near completion of the design of rocket engine currently residing in the company's specialized scientific inventions near the city of Oxford and the so-called «Reaction Angenz». 

Bond spent his career trying to solve the problem was not impressed with most of the people, namely, that the cost of space launch vehicles backed by conventional rocket engines are too high is not justified except that these engines will not be able to man from owning the tools necessary to discover the solar system and beyond. 

Bond says: «generally considered excellent satellite rocket motor, and an effective means to deliver spacecraft into space, but it is expensive so that the commercial launch of its traditional cost 100 million pounds roughly equivalent to the price of a Boeing 747 entirely new». 

There is a big security emphases site in the company «Reaction Angenz» where placed a warning sign saying that the place «deep threat», because it is adjacent to the site for the establishment of nuclear power. 

The cost of buying the spacecraft with the specifications mentioned 500 million pounds, up to the cost of the launch about three million pounds for a single task. 

Bond says: «The number of crew absorbed the launch to 50 people, and can be re-spacecraft to land laden with various materials during just two days so that they can re-launch of its new».
