The first X-38 atmospheric test vehicle ... represents an innovative new spacecraft design as a technology testbed ... Once operational, the successors to the X-38 may become the first new piloted spacecraft to travel to and from orbit in more than 20 years ... The primary application of the new spacecraft would be as an International Space Station "lifeboat," which would be delivered to the station by the Space Shuttle. The project also aims to develop a design that could be modified easily for other uses, such as a possible joint U.S. and European human spacecraft that could be launched on the French Ariane 5 booster. 4, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20test%20vehicle
