	Lockheed Unveils Images of Revised Venturestar
		The VentureStar proposal calls for Lockheed to build the craft entirely on its own, without government funding.
		While VentureStar is a privately funded effort, the X-33, its beleaguered prototype is a joint venture funded by Lockheed and NASA.
		The X-33 has a similar wedge shape and a similar internal structure of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks, but is half the size of the full craft.

	VentureStar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VentureStar was Lockheed-Martin's proposed design for a SSTO RLV.
		VentureStar was to be a commercial endeavor and flights would have been leased to NASA as needed.
		A small-scale prototype of VentureStar, co-funded by NASA and called the X-33 was underway when the program was cancelled on March 1, 2001.

	FLUG REVUE December 1996: X-33 VentureStar
		VentureStar itself is supposed to be finished and operational by 2007.
		VentureStar's take-off mass of approximately 1000 tons is half of what today's Shuttle weighs at lift-off: 900 tons of the hydrogen/oxygen fuel combination will supply the fuel for the seven Aerospike engines that will accelerate the 100 tons shuttle to 8 km/sec.
		VentureStar, like today's Shuttle, is designed to fly at an 180 km orbit with a 28,5 degree inclination, carrying up to 25 tons of payload.

	VentureStar
		VentureStar was Lockheed Martin's potential commercial follow-on to the X-33 vehicle being developed for NASA's RLV program.
		Although original plans for the VentureStar called for an internal payload bay similar to the X-33, the design was modified during 1999 to shift to an external payload bay.
		Although fielding the VentureStar vehicle was contingent on the results of the X-33 program and on raising an expected $5 billion in funding, Lockheed Martin established VentureStar LLC to manage the ongoing development of the vehicle concept.

	VentureStar
		The VentureStar is envisioned to be the space delivery system of the 21st century.
		The goal is to lower to cost from $10,000 per pound of payload to low earth orbit to $1,000 per pound to low earth orbit.
		VentureStar will reach approximately 28 000 kph (17,500 mph) or greater than Mach 25 to reach Earth orbit, using the linear aerospike engine.

	VentureStar Will Need Public Funding
		Should the aerospace firm decide to develop the VentureStar, a trade name which Lockheed Martin has registered, the firm has said it would raise the capital needed and develop and operate the space vehicle itself, much as Boeing develops commercial aircraft such as the 777 but then sells the planes to commercial airlines.
		While Lockheed officials have declined to discuss how the business plan for the VentureStar RLV is being designed, space industry sources have said that it would take raising funds in the range of $6 billion dollars or more for a minimal commercial fleet of vehicles.
		VentureStar has been considered the prime candidate to replace the Shuttle, but only in terms of a space vehicle that NASA can utilize, not own and operate.

	X-33 EC96-43631-2: VentureStar by Lockheed Martin in Orbit - Computer Graphic
		The goal of the RLV technology program was to enable significant reductions in the cost of access to space, and to promote the creation and delivery of new space services and other activities that would improve U.S. economic competitiveness.
		The X-33 was a wedged-shaped subscale technology demonstrator prototype of a potential future Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) that Lockheed Martin had dubbed VentureStar.
		Through demonstration flight and ground research, NASA's X-33 program was to have provided the information needed for industry representatives such as Lockheed Martin to decide whether to proceed with the development of a full-scale, commercial RLV program.

	Venture Star
		Vehicle for VentureStar's success will be the X-33, a reusable space-craft which can carry commercial payloads and position them in low and medium orbits.
		While VentureStar's first commercial launch is still at least a decade away, the initial test-launch for the X-33 prototype is counting down for the early summer of 1999.
		A VentureStar team player and member of the MBA Class of '99, Thompson, 47, has spent the summer as an intern at the Entrepreneurial Educational Foundation in Denver.

		VentureStar, like its under-construction prototype, the X-33, will take off vertically like a rocket and then land horizontally like an airplane.
		Rising said the size of the payload bay remains the same - 15 feet in diameter and 53 feet long - but moving it outside the craft may allow it to be wider and longer if needed.
		Current plans call for it to be transported to the ISS in either the Space Shuttle or VentureStar payload bays.

	Las Vegas SUN: Nevada offers Test Site for new space program
		VentureStar is a shorter but wider arrowhead-shaped version of the space shuttle being developed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works plant in Palmdale, Calif. Designed to launch on a single-stage rocket, the vehicle would use liquid fuel with a new high-tech propulsion system called a linear aerospike engine.
		The spacecraft will take off vertically and land horizontally like today's space shuttle and developers are hoping it will lower the cost of putting payload in space from $10,000 to $1,000 per pound by being completely reusable and having smaller crews to make the vehicle ready for its next flight.
		Joseph Brown, chairman of the NTS Development board of directors, and Troy Wade, chairman of the Nevada Alliance for Defense Energy and Business, explained that some of the ancillary industries associated with the spaceport could be as valuable as the launch facility itself.

	Corpus Christi Online - / Kenedy Ranch vying for new shuttle base
		The VentureStar project was born from a realization by NASA that access to space needs to be more affordable to help the United States regain the large share of global commercial launch business that has been lost to foreign competitors.
		That prototype, dubbed the X-33, is the model for VentureStar and is being constructed at the Skunk Works headquarters in Palmdale, Calif. The craft is due to make its first test flight next year from nearby Edwards Air Force Base.
		Unlike the shuttle, the VentureStar won't require large solid-rocket boosters and will be capable of multiple flights without major maintenance, meaning it will be far less expensive to operate.

	Moon Miners' Manifesto: Tourism - On the Level
		The recent winner of the X-33 competition, LockheedMartin's VentureStar is an apparently well thought out paper study design by Lockheed's famed Skunk Works, a team determined to overcome the considerable head start of McDonnell Douglas (the Delta Clipper program, with an actual successfully flying prototype).
		VentureStar will take off vertically on its tail like the Shuttle, and again like the Shuttle, it will land horizontally.
		While this was probably not the deciding factor in its choice, NASA's cozy familiarity and complacency with the Shuttle may have added the appeal of psychological frosting to Lockheed's design.

		San Bernardino County moved a giant step closer to becoming the launch site for the Lockheed-Martin VentureStar spacecraft this week, beating out three other sites to be named California’s entry in the national competition for the project.
		VentureStar, a project of Lockheed-Martin, is a reusable launch vehicle that would place satellites into orbit for one-tenth the cost of the Space Shuttle.
		The state’s selection of Harper Dry Lake is anticipated to come with a package of economic incentives designed to make San Bernardino County competitive with 19 other states seeking the project, including Texas and Florida.

		The Venturestar is often called a shuttle replacement, however this article shows that NASA never had any intentions to replace the Shuttle.
		I always knew that NASA ran into trouble with the composite tank, however, before reading this article I never knew they had the solution to the problem in their hands and opted not to use it.
		The Venturestar is a great way for NASA to retire the Shuttle, get the CEV, and still have a cutting edge reusable spaceplane.
