A European Point of View on Recoverable and Reusable Spaceflight Systems (Aerospace Transporter)

EUROSPACE's aim is to advance a comprehensive European space program. Open cooperation in space technology between the U.S. and the European organization has also been sought, to the extent that U.S. companies were invited to become members of EUROSPACE.

Among the several projects proposed by EUROSPACE is an aerospace transporter. At the first joint U.S.-European Conference, it was precisely the aerospace transporter proposal which elicited the least favorable response from the American side. Why this project would be unsuitable for the European organization to undertake at present is questioned openly.
