The patent application relates to an accelerator including a framework having an aerodynamic fairing shaped to provide positive pitch and directional stability. It includes a support and attachment system for holding a fully fueled horizontal takeoff space vehicle such that the negative structure loadings are reduced to a minimum. The running gear system includes a plurality of wheel tire sets with braking and decelerating means and a hydraulically energized system for rotating the accelerator to provide the required launch vehicle takeoff attitude.
