The U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) said it has established the Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) programme, which aims to develop a fully reusable unmanned vehicle that would provide aircraft-like access to space. The vehicle is envisioned to operate from a “clean pad” with a small ground crew and no need for expensive specialised infrastructure.
