Major problem area requiring extensive investigation is re-entry into atmosphere, including return flight to and landing at predetermined site; winged body and lifting body configuration are two likely configurations for orbiting stage of aerospace transporter; European space launchers available or under development include British Black Arrow, French Diamant and European ELDO-A rocket; of all European launchers being available or under development only ELDO-A has sufficient payload capability; program cost and duration are examined.
