Zusammenfassung:A space access system may include a reusable booster limited to sub-orbital operation and having a fuselage. The reusable booster may include a tri-propellant propulsion system which may be configured to shift from a tri-propellant mode of operation to a bi-propellant mode of operation. The tri-propellant propulsion system may include at least one tri-propellant engine and at least one internal propellant tank mounted within the fuselage and being fluidly coupled to the tri-propellant engine. A payload may be mounted with the fuselage. The payload may have an upper stage.
