Thanks to financial support from both the UK Government and the European Space Agency, the huge Skylon space plane, at 276 feet long, with its revolutionary SABRE engine is on track for its first test flight in 2020.
Skylon, which is being developed by British aerospace firm Reaction Engines, Ltd., will be a single-stage-to-orbit craft that can carry both cargo and humans into space. If successful, it would be a major step forward in truly opening space.
