| Title: | Conceptual Design of a Blended Body SSSO Space Tourism Vehicle |
| Abstract: | This conceptual design project focuses on designing a single stage suborbital space tourism vehicle that is fully rocket-powered to compete with companies such as Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin. Helios Aerospace, the team designing the blended body vehicle configuration, utilizes the mission requirements of Virgin Galactic to have a direct comparison to how the conceptual design of this single stage system fairs versus a two stage system. The project goal is to determine the best configuration possible to achieve FAR requirements, safety, and business case to be competitive on the market. |
