Space Ferry

I had previously stated the short comings of current rocket designs. They have limited diameter in their cargo bay. Even if the cargo area is enlarged, all the satellites would be deployed in the same orbit. I propose a Space Ferry. A ferry is a boat that transports passengers, and occasionally vehicles and cargo, across a body of water. A Space Ferry would transport space rockets to the Kármán line and beyond.

The Space Ferry would be a single stage rocket that carries multiple rockets to the boundary of space. The goal is to overcome the difficulty of crossing the atmosphere together. I propose solid boosters to do the hard work. They produce very high thrust with less complexity compared to liquid rockets. The solid boosters have thick walls to withstand the high pressure inside. This makes them very shell heavy. In Space Ferry, the solid boosters would be packed together to overlap their casings to reduce the overall weight. The empty space left from the packed boosters will be used to store liquid propellent. The Space Ferry will have a simple liquid rocket to slow it down when it is returning from space. Making it reusable.

The Space Ferry would speed up the development of new rocket designs. The rockets launched on board would only need engines that operate in vacuum. The rockets would not need to solve the problems of launch, the atmosphere, the wind... When the rockets on board leave the Space Ferry they would go on their own way. Allowing satellites with different orbits to be launched together. Additionally, the large diameter of the Space Ferry would allow larger payloads to be deployed as well, such as Space Telescopes and Space Station Modules.
