SpaceShipOne is capable of carrying two passengers to space in a sub-orbital flight. Let's say that's about 150 pounds per passenger for a total of 300 pounds of. If, instead of two passengers it took an additional rocket that was launched from SpaceShipOne at its apogee. Could a 300 pound rocket have enough fuel to accellearate it to the 17,000 mph necessary to put it into orbit?<br />In other words, could SpaceShipOne provide a platform for getting small satellites into orbit?
