Is a piggyback launched spacecraft viable for work in LEO? Not the US or Soviet version, but a program started after WWII and funded at a modest but steady level for 20 years? The country starting it would be somewhere between the UK and the US in industrial and scientific prowess.
Probably the key thing here would be the constant revenue stream for the project?
Any ideas as to the limits of the system for cargo?
