From the same transmitter? Well at least a crash is a landing style, so... Sure:p.

Maybe start with the original White Knight and Spaceship One?

Someone already did it, it was in the FliteFest 2016. It's on this video, at minute 24:30. It didn't work, though, but it worked this other video (they used the rocket at 4:00).

But you might need a second pilot if you don't want to crash one of the 2 planes, or maybe making the Spaceship just a non-RC glider with a rocket, and a parachute in case you want to recover it (similar to the model rockets system).

Not even close to the specs you guys are looking for, but it was fun all the same...!
