Is this enough evidence!

Military Space Plane Documents

This site has plenty of information for the space programs aircraft enthusiest. I sort of stumbled across it...yup sure did.

Ok enough suspence here you go...enjoy.

I at least reccomend looking over the site provided, as it supplies plenty of info.

Very informative, though i have seen bits of this info from the DAARPA site and another. I am finding a correlation though with the "2020" time span.

I looked, but perhaps not enough but I'm wondering 'what' the concept delivery vehicle will be.

Maybe the "Super Valkyrie/Brillant Buzzard" concepts? Hmm, maybe the X-33?

Very interesting though.

so what. we're working on a space plane. near earths pace is obviously the next region of flight to conquer. plus we go to war with these things they wont get shot down. heck id love to fly a space plane military or commercial. but i think blasting off in the shutle would be funner.

Who wants to go orbital when you can acomplish almost the same being sub-orbital?
www.globalsecurity.org...

And nobody's was suposed to send weapons in space...

Nope. Nobody was supposed to send NUCLEAR weapons into space. That's what the treaty was for.

Did you guys know that Saljoet 3 (1974) was equiped with anti-satellietmissiles and a 23mm canon that could fire 3000 rounds per minute.
I also read somewhere (dont remember where) that the soviets once fired with a laser on the Space Shuttle.
There wasnt any major damage however.
Well, maybe somebody knows more of this story.

I posted a few days ago in the military tech forum about the Russian spacecraft with the machine gun. I believed the craft only had the 23mm cannon. I dont know about the laser shuttle thing though.

Oeps sorry jetsetter!
But i guess there is some truth into the story wenn 2 guys from different places on the globe tell it
I got my info from a book of Piet Smolders. (THE Dutch autor on books relating to everything that has to do with space)
I know that he is higly connected with the russian space agency and former kosmonauts.
But yeah, the anti-satellite missiles part seems a little bit unrealistic.
