Mig-105 Launch from 50/50 Spacecraft.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-105 “Spiral“ was a Soviet project to create an orbital spaceplane. It was originally conceived in response to the American X-20 Dyna-Soar military space project and may have been influenced by contemporary manned lifting body research being conducted by NASA's Flight Research Center in California. It was nicknamed “Lapot“ Russian: лапоть, or best shoe (the word is also used as a slang for “shoe“) for the shape of its nose.
