This invention proposes an aerospace transportation system and operation method that applies to launch vehicles, sounding rockets, spacecraft, aeroplanes and helicopters. In this system the mass of propellant, or the energy source necessary to feed the propulsion system in order to generate thrust, is kept separated from the vehicle body. In this way the thrust generated by the propulsion system of the vehicle body can be fully used to accelerate the vehicle body and not the propellant, or energy source. The propellant, or energy transfer to the propulsion system of the vehicle body occurs through: -An umbilical tube (2a) that connects the propellant tank (3a) the the vehicle body (1a), in the case of the propellant or energy for the generation of thrust being fluid. - Otherwise through air or vacuum, if the energy is transmittable via air or vacuum. - Otherwise through electric-magnetic connectors (2d, 4d) that link the vehicle body to the energy source necessary to generate thrust.
