The space transportation system is a system that can freely enter and exit the space orbit, safely return to the earth surface, and undertake transportation missions between the space orbit and the earth. In recent years, the emerging of the driving effect of advanced power, new materials, and new technologies has spurred a new round of investigations on the advanced space transportation system by aerospace groups. This paper focuses on the research of this hot spot. The aerodynamic characteristics of different types of vehicles entering and leaving the atmosphere are analyzed. Among these studies, the cross-atmosphere vehicle is the main carrier in the space transportation system, and the main development direction of the future space transportation system involves rocket assisted launch and glide reentry vehicles, and horizontal take-off and horizontal landing vehicles. These two types of vehicles have common difficulties in aerodynamic design as well as large differences in power aerodynamic integration design.
