The invention relates to the aerospace industry, in particular to payload launching systems into a low-Earth orbit.
The system comprises an airplane as an air platform and a three-stage carrier (18). The first stage of the three-stage carrier is a reusable winged supersonic aircraft comprising an interconnected right boom (7) and left boom (8), wing-fuselage (9), wings (10), and tail stabilizers (11). The second stage of the three-stage carrier is a twin-boom winged hypersonic aircraft with a low-wing (15) aerodynamic structure comprising a wing-fuselage (12), an interconnected right boom (13), and a left boom (14), between which a cargo compartment is formed. The third-stage carrier is a rocket (17) adapted to be placed into the cargo compartment of the carrier's second-stage. The three-stage carrier (18) is suspended from the platform aircraft’s suspension (6).
