Kliper - "The Kliper manned spacecraft replacement for Soyuz was first mentioned at a Moscow news conference on 17 February 2004. The 14.5 tonne reusable lifting body would be used as a space station ferry and lifeboat, or could operate independently to shuttle tourists to space. Assuming the Russian government provided 10 billion roubles of financing, Kliper and its new Onega launch vehicle could fly as early as 2010." (170 visits)
