Space transportation systems with vertical start and ballistic elevation are presented. A numerical computer program for the evaluation of chemical and thermal jet propulsions is developed. Individual analysis of these propulsion systems and their combination for space transporters is performed and applied to specific aircraft performance analysis. Turborockets/ramjet systems and pure ramjet systems show advantageous transport potential. Propellant economy is 60 percent and hydrogen is the most suitable.
