Boeing's Low cost Heavy Lift Vehicle VTVL SSTO "The Big Onion"
Boeing's Low cost Heavy Lift Vehicle Concept VTVL SSTO RLV was part of the company's NASA-funded Solar Powersat Studies in 1976-77. Known as "The Big Onion" it utilized twenty-four 4.5MN oxygen-hydrogen main engines plus twenty-four 2.25MN lox-kerosene booster engines to generate a thrust-to-weight ratio at liftoff of 1.3. with 227 tonne payload capacity
Leo’s base heat shield would be water-cooled and the engine nozzles were to be protected by steam ejection.

Heavy Haulage of Giant Tank Gone Wrong!
The heavy haulage of two CO2 gas tanks from the Barlage company in Haselünne to Dörpen was ill-fated from the start. The transport first attracted attention because of halved trees in the city of Sögel. Later the first gas tank tipped over shortly after passing this point and landed on the field next to the road. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
The transport of the two gas tanks originally started on February 24, 2020 and could only be completed on March 29 after the salvage.

ISRO's Next Gen Launch Vehicles Will Completely Change Space Industries
My Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/worldaffairs_36
India has made tremendous strides in launch vehicle technology to achieve self-reliance in satellite launch vehicle programme with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
The Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) expendable Polar Synchronous Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has enjoyed a steady and successful business run with medium-lift launches (~3.8 ton to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO)) for nearly two decades All of ISRO’s currently operational launch vehicles – the PSLV, GSLV Mk-II, and GSLV Mk-III – are based on modular expendable architecture where none of the modules ( boosters and the other three-or-four stages), can be reused.

US Marines MASSIVE Experimental Amphibious Vehicle - Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector
The Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC) begins to rotate on the beach, July 9, at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows on Oahu, Hawaii during a Marine Corps Advanced Warfighting Experiment. The AWE is the culmination of a decade of progressive experimentation conducted by the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) where they are testing potential future technologies, solutions and concepts to future Marine Air Ground Task Force challenges. The AWE is taking part during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. Lt. Col. Don Gordon, the current technology officer at MCWL, said the UHAC is one of those experimental technologies that displays a possible capability of being able to insert Marines in areas where current technology wouldn't be able to insert them based on current systems...

India has made tremendous strides in launch vehicle technology to achieve self-reliance in satellite launch vehicle programme with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
The Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) expendable Polar Synchronous Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has enjoyed a steady and successful business run with medium-lift launches (~3.8 ton to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO)) for nearly two decades All of ISRO’s currently operational launch vehicles – the PSLV, GSLV Mk-II, and GSLV Mk-III – are based on modular expendable architecture where none of the modules ( boosters and the other three-or-four stages), can be reused.
Attempts to reduce the cost of satellites and launch vehicles, and allow them to carry heavier payloads, are being explored through the use of miniaturized avionics, advanced electronics, and electronic propulsion system, among other mechanisms
As of now, India is quite competitive with regard to the prevailing global launch cost. So far, India has launched 209 satellites of nano, micro, mini, and standard size for 28 countries.
ISRO’s low prices and its high success rate have attracted foreign clients. While a satellite launch on Arianespace’s rocket costs about $100 million after subsidies, SpaceX will charge $60 million. In contrast, Isro charged an average of $3 million per satellite between 2013 and 2015.
There is a global movement to reduce the cost of access to space to the tune of one-tenth of the prevailing one. India is also working towards that. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is fully prepared to compete in the global race to cut the cost of launching satellites,
for this India is developing a new-generation rocket that would cut satellite launch cost by half, boosting low-cost access to space

The UHAC prototype is a ship-to-shore connector and is half the size of the intended machine. Currently, the UHAC travels at four knots using a track system with floatation-like pads that propels itself through different terrain. Video by Master Sgt. Kyle Olson and Gunnery Sgt.

Team Vision 2006 Proposal
An Alternate Approach towards Achieving the New Vision
for Space Exploration
The Jupiter-III HLV is a revolutionary idea that seeks to revamp the current External Tank/SRB system of the Space Shuttle to produce a cutting-edge heavy lift launch vehicle. This proposal involves replacing the forward attachment of the External Tank with a more formidable structural system, thereby enhancing the capacity to transmit higher thrust and rotational loads. The new center tank's upper inter-stage region would drive the attached External Tank/SRB components, reducing the stress on the aft attachment points of the LH2 tanks.
This HLV concept leverages the External Tank/SRB stack as a common core booster, providing ample room for adjustments in lift capacity through modifications to the central core lift vehicle. The parallel burn configuration of the Jupiter-III HLV offers numerous advantages, including a reduction in development costs, improved structural efficiency, and heightened payload capacity flexibility. With a large proportion of already developed components in the Shuttle External Tank/SRB system, the costs of developing this HLV would be kept to a minimum.
Moreover, the Jupiter-III HLV would optimally utilize the Kennedy Spaceflight Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) volume, making it a more practical option than conventional stacked lift vehicle designs. With further extensions to a four SSET Jupiter V configuration integrated around a new 14 Meter ICES core and main/2nd stage engines, the lift capacity of this HLV could potentially surpass 1,000 metric tons to low Earth orbit, making it a game-changer in the aerospace industry.
