Hello All,

Generation Orbit (see: www.generationorbit.com ) has further refined their air-launched suborbital (single stage) and orbital (two stage) launch vehicles, now called GOLauncher 1 and GOLauncher 2, respectively. Both vehicles now have aft boat-tails, and their four-finned tail assemblies are now arranged in a sideways "X" configuration (instead of their former cruciform configuration), to ensure adequate ground clearance under the Gulfstream jet launch aircraft; illustrations and videos of the vehicles are on their web site. Generation Orbit has also revealed that the GOLauncher 1 & 2 will be powered by LOX/paraffin hybrid rocket motors developed by SPG (Space Propulsion Group).
