Advanced Concept of HTHL Marine Space System

Integrated launch system that consists of aerospace plane (ASP) and another heavy winged vehicle (plane or better ekranoplane) as a booster, are analyzed. Ekranoplane can accelerate ASP to the primary speed of Mach 0.5-0.65 in the required direction that allows to lower the requirements to ASP wing area and its engines power. Some other advantages of the offered integrated transport system are connected with suitable using ekranoplane at ASP landing. Heavy ekranoplane is undoubtedly the single vehicle for realization the progressive idea of docking to descending ASP the addition stage allowing to expand opportunities of its landing. The technology of ASP horizontal landing without undercarriage by docking with ekranoplane at the last stage of decent and the requirements to control systems of both winged vehicles are discussed.
