Airborne Launch Systems are methods used to launch rockets or spacecraft from an aircraft instead of a traditional ground-based launch pad. This approach allows for greater flexibility in launch locations and can reduce the amount of fuel needed to reach orbit. By taking off from a high altitude, the aircraft can help the rocket gain initial speed and altitude, making the launch more efficient. One well-known example of an airborne launch system is the Virgin Galactic program, which uses a carrier aircraft to lift a smaller spacecraft into the sky. Once at a designated altitude, the spacecraft is released and ignites its engines to continue its journey into space. This innovative method is being explored for various applications, including satellite deployment and space tourism.
