What kind of Space Ships will be used in nearest future?
The cash designed to inspire space travel was won Oct. 4, 2004 as SpaceShipOne, a privately built three-person craft, made a required second flight above 62 miles (100 km). This page serves as an archive and remains as it appeared shortly after the flight.

SpaceShipOne is airborne, slung under its White Knight carrier plane. The pair now begin the long flight to about 47,000 feet, where SpaceShipOne will be dropped. Then it will fire its rockets and head spaceward.
Full story you might find here.
SpaceShipTwo is a proposed commercial suborbital plane which is currently in development. Virgin Galactic is marketing and operating the vehicles. Virgin Galactic hopes to become the first company to provide commercial suborbital space flights for private citizens.

The flights will take about 2 hours and SpaceShipTwo (SS2) will fly just outside of the Earth�s atmosphere where tourists will spend a few minutes floating in space before the ship must return back to the Earth�s atmosphere. SpaceShipTwo will be launched from its mother ship, WhiteKnightTwo (WK2). SpaceShipTwo will provide personal spacesuits of a design yet to be set.
WhiteKnightTwo is the carrier vehicle. It will be larger than a Boeing 757 jet and will also sport the same interior of SpaceShipTwo and will be used to help train passengers during a three-day orientation period before launch.

Astrium has unveiled a revolutionary new vehicle for space tourism at a special VIP event in Paris ahead of the Le Bourget Airshow. This business jet sized vehicle is designed to carry four passengers 100 km up into space giving more than three minutes of "zero G" or weightlessness. Guests at the Paris event were shown a full sized mock-up of the forward section of the revolutionary craft including its Marc Newson designed cabin.

The Astrium space jet will take off and land conventionally from a standard airport using its jet engines. However, once the craft is airborne at an altitude of about 12 km, the rocket engines will be ignited to give sufficient acceleration to reach 100 km. In only 80 seconds the craft will have climbed to 60 km altitude. The highly innovative seats balance themselves to minimize the effects of acceleration and deceleration, ensuring the greatest passenger comfort and safety. The rocket propulsion system is then shut down as the ship’s inertia carries it on to over 100 km, where passengers will become one of the very few to experience zero gravity in space.

Rocket plane venture star

This is the one of the latest researches of Lockheed Martin. If Venture Star is built and proves successful, the cost of launching a pound of payload into low Earth orbit will be reduced from the $10,000 it costs today with the space shuttle to $1,000 (the cost is about $5,000 per pound of payload with the Atlas and Delta launch vehicles). This cost reduction is likely to dramatically increase the space business: Communications satellites, scientific satellites, servicing the International Space Station, exotic manufacturing laboratories exploiting the near zero-gravity conditions of space, and other novel uses of space yet to be invented by twenty-first century entrepreneurs. One such invention could be the sale of leisure excursions into space to adventuresome private citizens.
