  • Patent number: 12145726
    Abstract: According to at least one example a launch system is provided, including a carrier vehicle and at least one payload vehicle. The payload vehicle includes a payload propulsion system and aerodynamic lift surfaces designed for providing the payload vehicle with aerodynamic powered flight at a design subsonic cruise speed at a desired altitude. The carrier vehicle is configured for carrying the at least one payload vehicle at least up to the desired altitude, and further includes a solid rocket propulsion system for propelling the launch system to the desired altitude. The carrier vehicle is configured for providing a predetermined forward speed at the desired altitude, correlated to the design subsonic cruise speed. The carrier vehicle is configured for releasing the payload vehicle with respect to the carrier vehicle at the desired altitude and the predetermined forward speed. The design subsonic cruise speed is less than 0.7 Mach number, and, the desired altitude is greater than 3 km.
