An orbit vehicle launch system was designed which includes reusable turbojet propelled booster vehicles releasably connected to a reusable rocket powered orbit vehicle. The coupled orbiter-booster combination takes off horizontally and ascends to staging altitude and speed under booster power with both orbiter and booster wings providing lift. After staging, the booster vehicles fly back to earth for horizontal landing and the orbiter vehicle continues ascending to orbit. The wings of both vehicles are designed to induce vortex lift.
