First sentence: After more than thirty years of development of multi-stage-to-orbit (MSTO) spacecraft, exemplified by the Space Shuttle and Ariane three-stage spacecraft, the natural continuation for a modern space program is the development of two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) and then single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft (Refs. 1-7).
