Scientific paper

Suborbital Freight, sometimes called Fast Freight, is delivery of high priority packages over intercontinental distances in periods of approximately one hour. The vehicles required are usually rocket-powered and have total ideal velocities of around 7.5 km/second. Analysis of this market indicates that there are niches where commercial operations are possible and might even be profitable using today's state-of-the-art technologies. The key requirements to capture this market are low nonrecurring costs, quick turnaround (<9 hours), and high reliability (0.999). This draft is a report on work in progress. The Fast Freight study will be completed before the STAIF-97 conference and results will be presented at that time.
