This topic is offered for NewMars members who would like to collaborate in design of an SSTO using LH2 fuel and LOX
We assume at the outset that the process of developing a design for a specific mission will be an iterative process.
To try to make the process as free of distractions as possible, I'm offering the opening scenario as:
1) Payload in addition to the vehicle itself, delivered to LEO (300 km) is one metric ton
2) Fuel is LH2
3) Oxidizer is LOX
4) Location of launch is the equator to maximize the Earth's momentum contribution.
5) Other specifications can be added as they are requested
The business case is the LEO RV market. The system will be designed to convert into a habitat upon arrival in LEO.
It should be noted that the habitat volume will be much greater with this design.
