To create the equivalent of a two-way highway between the Earth and the Moon with refueling stations along the way.
Our Plan
To utilitze existing ELVs and a small fleet of new, reusable spacecraft that are refueled in cislunar space.
Our Goal
To develop a rapidly deployable Earth-Moon transportation system.
Our Methodology
To develop a fleet of LTS spacecraft that are sized to fit the payload envelope and the payload capabilities of Delta II class launch vehicles to validate LTS concepts and to deliver small payloads to and from the lunar surface. Once LTS concepts are validated using Delta II Heavy class launch vehicles in a series of flight demonstration missions, develop a fleet of larger spacecraft that are sized to fit the payload envelope and payload capabilities of Delta IV Heavy class launch vehicles. These larger LTS spacecraft will be capable of bringing crews and heavy payloads to and from the lunar surface.
