Abstract: A reusable orbital vehicle for a space transport system including a fuselage with a shape splayed in a direction going from a front end of the reusable orbital vehicle as far as a rear end of said fuselage and within which a housing is defined, and a crew-evacuation vehicle housed in said housing while being oriented so as to be extracted from the housing in a direction oriented from said rear end of the fuselage towards said front end of the reusable orbital vehicle.

Abstract: A space transportation system intended to be mounted on a space launcher comprising a re-ignitable propulsion device and steerable flaps located at a second end and a monitoring unit, each flap comprising an actuating means configured to modify the orientation of said flap, said monitoring unit being configured to control the activation of the propulsion device and individually control the orientation of the flaps in order to implement the following steps: a launch step during which the propulsion device is off and the flaps are in a retracted position; a return step during which the monitoring unit deploys the flaps and individually controls the orientation of the flaps to slow down the system, the propulsion device being off; a landing step during which the monitoring unit controls the propulsion device and the actuating means to orient the flaps to slow down.

Abstract: A space aircraft including a fuselage, two wings arranged on either side of the fuselage, and two nacelles arranged at the ends of the wings and each carrying a horizontal tail and a vertical tail, the fuselage having a cross section of variable size along the longitudinal axis with a maximum cross section being located in a longitudinal position located in front of the longitudinal position of the leading edges of the wings at the fuselage, making it possible in particular to help prevent the space aircraft from losing longitudinal static stability, the space aircraft thus having an optimized design and architecture which are suitable for the severe conditions encountered by such a space aircraft, in particular during atmospheric re-entry.
