Scientific paper

The possibility of achieving heavy-lift and interplanetary transportation by aerospace plane-like launch vehicles and Mars transfer vehicles is discussed. It is concluded that reusable airbreathing heavy-lift launch vehicles based on aerospace plane technologies may eventually be feasible for boosting all elements of Mars expeditions into earth orbit for journeys embarked upon about every two years. The same vehicles could be used for heavy lift commerce between the earth and moon and for space tourism.
