"MARKS" SMALL AVIATION-ROCKET SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM
Abstract
The problems of delivery of small space vehicles into low earth orbits are pointed out. The up-to-date means for the ascent of small space vehicles into low earth orbits are analysed. The solution for responsive and economical ascent of small space vehicles into low earth orbits in the form of "MARKS" small aviationrocket space launch system is offered. Implementation of the offered idea will provide the price of delivery of 1 kg payload into 500 km sun-synchronous orbit equal to 3750 US dollars.
