Abstract
Based on a comprehensive analysis of all major manned space projects (capsule types - Mercury, Soyuz, Gemini and Apollo - and winged type - Space Shuttle, Buran and Hermes) and taking into account the advantages and drawbacks of both types, a new concept for a manned reusable spacecraft has been proposed and justified in detail. The concept, which is patented, combines the features of both the types, hence the name, hybrid.
