Compendium of small class ELV capabilities, costs, and constraintsBoth NASA and DARPA are investigating programs to provide flight demonstration opportunities for new commercially developed rockets. Development of such rockets will be decisive for the success of expendable launch vehicle (ELV) commercialization. The costs and capabilities associated with the various vehicles are discussed here, emphasizing the constraints on their development and widespread utilization. An overview is presented of related international launch vehicle development plans, and the market for small ELVs in the 1990s is discussed.
