Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to patent covers a re-usable launch vehicle (RLV) (10) system and method comprising a launch track (14), a trolley (12) with propulsion means and a cradle; with the RLV (10) located on the cradle. The RLV is a space-plane capable of carrying a payload comprising rocket having a solid fuel main motor, two delta-shaped wings, and a ramjet under each delta-shaped wing. The trolley (12) is arranged to be accelerated down the track (14) until the ramjets are activated and generate enough force to lift the RLV (10) off the cradle and launch it to ultimately achieve earth orbit.
