Feasibility of SCRAMJET technology for an intermediate propulsive stage of an expendable launch vehicle
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The single largest contributor to the cost of putting objects into space is that of the launch portion. The currently available chemical rockets are only capable of specific impulse (Isp) values on the average of 300-350 seconds, with a maxi...
