A sea-launched sub-orbital
VTOHL rocket using
LNG/
LOX engines, the CAC-1
was intended to carry six passengers from port city to port city as a
rapid transit service, a transatlantic flight taking about 12 minutes.
Designed and promoted by
Advent Launch Services , the project was eventually scrapped after the company failed to raise
sufficient financing through a deposit scheme. The original start of commercial service was to be July 4 1999. A former X-Prize contender.
