Description

As the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) development progresses the possibility of having an operational fleet of NASP derived vehicles (NDVs) becomes more of a reality. Currently facility concepts for the NDV have reflected almost exclusively its aircraft like characteristics while ignoring its rocket-like features. To meet the needs of this revolutionary type vehicle, a whole new concept in facilities, basing, and ground processing is required to ensure its rapid turnaround capability.
