A Design for a Reusable Water-Based Spacecraft Known as the Spacecoach: SpringerBriefs in Space Development
Autor Brian McConnell, Alexander Tolleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2015
A spacecraft that is comprised mostly of water will be much more like a living cell or a terrarium than a conventional rocket and capsule design. It will use water for many purposes before it is superheated in electric engines for propulsion, purposes which include radiation shielding, heat management, basic life support, crew consumption and comfort. The authors coined the term "spacecoaches" to describe them, as an allusion to the Prairie Schooners of the Old West, which were simple, rugged, and could live off the land.
