Bristol Spaceplanes Limited, based in Bristol, England, was founded in 1991 to provide technical assistance and consultancy to commercial organisations and aerospace companies interested in commercial opportunities in space.
BSP has prepared plans to develop the Ascender sub-orbital spaceplane, designed in-house from off-the-shelf technology. Ascender operates like an aeroplane, however its rocket motor propels it to an altitude of 100km. During your Ascender flight, you will experience weightlessness, see the earth below you, and bright stars against a black sky: a truly transforming experience.
Bristol Spaceplanes has been an industry leader in spaceplane design for over thirty years. Our clients include the European Space Agency, we have testified to the UK Government on space policy, and our work has been used to further NASA studies on reusable launch vehicles and space tourism.
