Abstract
In this paper, recent trends in design and concept of fully reusable single stage to Orbit Launch vehicle is being studied. As step forwards to developing a generalised formulation with identified limits for launch vehicles especially for small payload class to LEO. The state of the art is based on DLR’s RETALT 2 concept, by using historical formulation detailed mass budget is obtained for the same. Trajectory design, loading conditions have been re-simulated with changes towards obtaining measurable improvements in overall performance of the vehicle. Shortcomings during the preliminary design process is identified from a structural design point of view.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
