Reusable, Operable, Affordable,Maintainable
• Changing how launch vehicles are done• Multiple flight missions per day
• Lead times of days or weeks not years• Small ground and flight crews
• Affordable, orders of magnitude less thantraditional vehicles
• Build a little, test a lot
Safe.

Vehicle Capability Road Map
• Low speed, low altitude; focus on operationsand maintenance.
• Increase delta-V, aerodynamics, space ratingsystems.
• Sub-orbital up and down.• Nanosat/CubeSAT capable expendable
upper stage• Sub-orbital point to point.

Payloads• Micro-gravity, upper atmosphere, Earth
observation, astronomy...• Education and outreach experiments• Fly multiple times in a short period• Unplanned re-flights on short notice• You can afford to do “What if?” science• Cross the TRL “valley of death” for a tenth of
the cost• Cost effectively test your payload in space
before its in orbit

Payload Customers• Military• Aerospace Industry/R&D
• Defects/risk go down when flight included in QAprocess prior to shipping product
• Frequent flights built into R&D process• University Research• University Aerospace Education• K-12 educators
• 10% of US high school students could enter collegehaving already built and flown a payload in space
• Amateurs/Prosumer• Participatory exploration where you are in the lead, not
NASA.
