Hey folks.
I finished the ARV. I think the ARV project is not complete dead. Dr. Reiter from esa spoke last september in a presentation about this. The phase A study from esa and Astrium finished in 2011. I mean the project is parked for a wihle. (Europe have not enough money to finance a new spacecraft and corrupt politicians in some member countrys in the Eurozone at the same time.)
I hope this one will go in space someday. (inclusive the manned version and a manrated Ariane 5???!!!!
)
