Space reconnaissance plane is a designation used to refer to recon planes capable of space flight on Earth. Following the Garmillas War, the designation "spaceplane" replaced the older term "aerospacecraft" to refer to transatmospheric aircraft. The former is more similar to "space reconnaissance plane", which was already in use.[1]
