SpaceLiner transport, artwork C016 / 6384
SpaceLiner transport. Artwork of the suborbital, hypersonic passenger transport being studied by the SART (Space Launcher Systems Analysis) group at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). This design has been studied since 2005. The latest designs are 65 metres long, carrying 50 to 100 passengers and 2 crew. Rocket engines and boosters are used to reach altitudes of 80 kilometres and speeds 20 times that of sound. It would take 90 minutes in gliding sub-orbital flight to reach destinations thousands of kilometres away on the other side of the world. By 2012, several configurations had been designed, with the latest being SpaceLiner 7

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "SpaceLiner transport" showcases the futuristic vision of a suborbital, hypersonic passenger transport being studied by the SART (Space Launcher Systems Analysis) group at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). Created in 2005 and continuously refined since then, this design represents cutting-edge technology and innovation. Measuring an impressive 65 meters in length, the SpaceLiner can accommodate up to 100 passengers and two crew members. Powered by rocket engines and boosters, it is capable of reaching altitudes of 80 kilometers with mind-boggling speeds that are twenty times faster than sound itself. In just 90 minutes, this marvel of engineering could whisk travelers across thousands of kilometers on the other side of our planet through gliding sub-orbital flight. The artwork depicts a sleek spacecraft soaring above Earth's atmosphere against a backdrop illuminated by the sun. Its delta wing glider design exudes elegance while hinting at its remarkable capabilities for intercontinental travel. The internal view reveals a spacious passenger compartment equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure comfort and safety during these extraordinary journeys. Created by Detlev van Ravenswaay for Science Photo Library, this illustration captures both the technological prowess behind this spaceflight concept as well as its potential impact on future transportation systems. While not intended for commercial use at present, it serves as an inspiring glimpse into what may lie ahead in our quest to conquer new frontiers beyond our home planet.
