Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle 📖 Wikipedia

Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) adalah kendaraan eksperimental re-entry Badan Antariksa Eropa (ESA) dimaksudkan untuk memvalidasi peluncur dapat digunakan kembali Eropa yang dapat dievaluasi dalam rangka program FLPP. Pengembangan IXV akan dilakukan di bawah kepemimpinan perusahaan NGL Perdana SpA. ini akan mewarisi prinsip-prinsip penelitian sebelumnya seperti CNES 'Pre-X dan ESA's AREV (Atmospheric Reentry Experimental Vehicle).
