2nd UK Space Propulsion Workshop
HUB:BLE 2 Boosting Local Enterprise – 17th October 2013 2
A Brief History
In the mid 1980s the UK began HOTOL – a Rolls Royce/British Aerospace study into single stage to orbit spaceplanes – the funding was cut in 1988
3 HOTOL Engineers founded Reaction Engines Ltd. In 1989 to continue and progress spaceplane R&D

T h e i m p o r ta n c e o f r e u s a b l e S p a c e a c c e s s … Launchers derived from cold war military technology have been faithful friends enabling the birth of the Space age and returning services and knowledge. However they suffer significant drawbacks: ▪ Expensive & labour intensive ▪ Unreliable – 1/50 failure rate historically ▪ Now a limitation to growth

Characteristics of Commercial Operations
HUB:BLE 2 Boosting Local Enterprise – 17th October 2013
• Reusability:
-reduced cost per flight by amortising production cost over 200 flights.
• Single-stage:
-reduced development and operating costs relative to multi-stage vehicles.
• Un-piloted:
-reduced mission control, relaxed safety during development, increased
payload. Dedicated accessory passenger module for payload bay.

Characteristics of Commercial Operations (cont.)
HUB:BLE 2 Boosting Local Enterprise – 17th October 2013
• Abort capability: - abort to launch site with up to half engines failed. - flight critical systems redundant to single point failure. • User friendly operations: - simple ground handling and automatic checkout. - low maintenance through robust TPS and long life engines. - containerised payload system.
• Re-entry cross-range: - high hypersonic L/D to improve return opportunities to launch site. • Environmental impact: - benign propellants, ‘low’ engine noise, no orbital debris.
