Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A space vehicle comprising:
 an aerospike nozzle formed on an aft end of the vehicle;   a truncated spike including an outer edge and a surface formed on a rear portion of the truncated spike; and   an annular ring outlet formed at the aft end of the vehicle between the outer edge of the truncated spike and an inner edge of the aft end of the space vehicle.   
     
     
         2 . The space vehicle of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of injectors on the surface of the truncated spike for emitting a gas from the surface of the truncated spike into a recirculation region behind the space vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The space vehicle of  claim 1 , the truncated spike further comprising a plurality of heat resistant tiles located on the surface of the truncated spike. 
     
     
         4 . A space vehicle comprising:
 an aerospike nozzle formed on an aft end of the vehicle;   a truncated spike including an outer edge and a surface formed on a rear portion of the truncated spike;   a plurality of injectors on the surface of the truncated spike for emitting a gas from the surface of the truncated spike into a recirculation region behind the space vehicle; and   an annular ring outlet formed at the aft end of the vehicle between the outer edge of the truncated spike and an inner edge of the aft end of the space vehicle.
