Description
Reusable Hypersonic Jet able to launch a standard Space Shuttle into orbit.
This build has a lab module as payload.
Note: This versiion of the launcher design doesn't require require refueling to return to KSC.

How to Launch:
1) Accelerate off the end of the runway then pull up above 35 degrees and blast straight into space.
2) Apo should reach around 100KM - Throttle down to Zero when engines flame out.
3) Once alt exceeds 70KM detach space shuttle and set orbital insertion node.
4) Thrust shuttle into orbit then switch back to jet launcher BEFORE IT RE-ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE.
5) When Hypersonic Jet drops below 10Km alt turn to 270 degrees and blast back into toward KSC.
6) Land the Hypersonic Jet Launcher and switch back to the Shuttle in orbit using the tracking station.

Quick follow-up: The Rapiers on the Hypersonic Jet are meant to be used strictly in the air breathing mode. It simply needs to be on a sub-orbital trajectory in order to launch the Shuttle into orbit.
