NASA and the Department of Defense have created programs such as the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Demonstrations and the DARPA FALCON project. The DARPA FALCON project is a United States Air Force run project that hopes to develop and demonstrate hypersonic technologies that will help facilitate quick global reach missions. This could also have commercial space and transportation applications. |
