ONE MONTH: HOTOL & Skylon: The Story of Britain’s Spaceplanes with Rob Coppinger
📆 9 Dec 26
🕖 19:00GMT/UTC
Register: bis-space.com/shop/product/b…
Join the British Interplanetary Society for an exciting evening with the author of HOTOL & Skylon: The Story of Britain’s Spaceplanes, Rob Coppinger.
The story of HOTOL and Skylon is one of a dream of aviation and spaceflight older than the Space Age itself; the case for a reusable launch vehicle capable of reaching space with aircraft-like operations.
