ResumoConsideration is given to fully reusable winged two- and single-stage systems powered by hydrogen/oxygen rocket engines, which differ in types of takeoff [horizontal takeoff (HTO) using an undercarriage; ground sled-assisted takeoff; air launch from a subsonic carrier; and launching-pad vertical takeoff (VTO)]. The systems have been optimized and compared using two criteria: payload mass and “dry mass to payload mass” ratio. The influence of the gross weight of a system and the technological level on the criteria involved is being investigated.
