Kliper Wallpapers

Kliper - spacecraft; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Kliper (Клипер, also referred to as Clipper) is Russias proposed next generation manned spacecraft. Kliper has been associated with RKK Energias design proposal in the media, however two other companies, Khrunichev and Molniya, have submitted proposals. Designed primarily to replace the Soyuz spacecraft, it is a partly reusable spaceplane that should be able to glide into the atmosphere at an angle that produces much less acceleration on the human occupants than the current Soyuz. Energias Kliper proposal is currently proposed in two versions: as a pure lifting body design and as a spaceplane with small wings. This craft may carry up to six people and may be able to perform ferry services between earth and the International Space Station. It has also been declared that it will be used as the crew vehicle for trans-lunar missions and may at least theoretically be used on Mars exploration. The primary focus for its development was to reduce costs for manned space flights by using the reusable spaceship approach, decrease g-forces in order to shorten the preparation time of space tourists and to replace the aging Soyuz capsule design.
