Background Story:

Not too long ago El Cheapo Aerospace decided not to spend 3 million kash to unlock the stock annular aerospike. They decide to make a Ghetto Spike engine out of a discarded nosecone and some 24-77 rocket motors found in a junkyard.

The GhettoSpike engine worked well but didn’t have enough power to propel a 71 ton monster spaceplane to orbit, so they decided to up the ante and develop a more powerful linear aerospike engine.

Before installing the engine on a hugely expensive SSTO prototype, some bright chap suggested to design a small-scale technology demonstrator to qualify the new GS-2 Linear Ghettospike engine!

Here she is, not the fragile launch and throw away early test vehicles, but a fully operational unmanned, conventional takeoff and landing capable, sub-orbital, hypersonic-capable miniature spaceplane for all your speed induced adrenalin needs!
