Shuttleohjelman
Shuttleohjelman is a fictional spaceflight program used in Finnish-language discussions and hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the development of reusable spacecraft. In the described scenario, the program envisions a national or multi-institutional effort to design, build, and operate a fleet of reusable orbital shuttles capable of satellite deployment, cargo resupply, and limited crewed missions to low Earth orbit, together with the ground-support and industrial infrastructure required to sustain operations.
Objectives typically include reducing launch costs through repeated reuse, expanding access to space for science and
