This volume offers an introduction into the technology
programs and international projects of reusable orbital
transport systems. Besides the technological requirements,
meteorological and air chemical aspects in regard to the
environmental compatibility of future transport systems are
the most important topics.
The aim of the symposium was to investigate the classical
disciplines and methods of aeronautics and astro- nautics in
connection with meteorological and air chemical methods and
models. For this purpose an attempt was made to identify
technological optimization parameters in respect to the air
chemical environmental compatibility of future orbital
transport systems.
