Rycerz-type Spaceplane
Many decades after the conclusion of the NASA’s Space Shuttle program, spaceplanes made a decisive comeback with models like the Rycerz. Although not the cheapest way, they became one of the most versatile and practical means to launch many kinds of objects into orbit, including unusual polar and high altitude trajectories, which could be reached using tandem configurations with special first-stage launchers.
The initial design ideas and brand logo were created by concept artist and illustrator Maciej Rebisz:
