FIELD: aircraft engineering.
SUBSTANCE: claimed space rocket comprises rocket engine and payload. Note here that shuttle rocket features the ogive cone shape with the blunt refractory part at the cone base while fins, or pylons, or engines are secured to the payload by controlled detachable attachment. Space rocket comprises shuttle payload with wings which double, as-folded, as the cargo compartment covers. Cargo hatch on the payload one side is closed by two covers sliding toward each other and turning relative to relative to the axes crossing the lengthwise axis to make the wings. Rocket landing process consists in landing on the water at "cone downward" position. Note here that gas pressure is increased inside the payload by, particularly, water evaporation.
EFFECT: better controllability of payload at landing.
