European activities toward the recovery of loads and transport systems
Abstract
The state of planning in Europe on the recovery of loads and transportation systems is discussed. Older European plans for recoverable space systems are briefly reviewed, and more recent activities in this area are described. Future technologies which may permit such recoverable systems are discussed, and the French HERMES project is briefly examined.
