TL;DR: In this article, the conceptual design and performance analysis of a partially reusable space launch vehicle for small payloads is presented, which uses a multi-stage vehicle with rocket engines, with a reusable first stage capable of glided or powered flight, and expendable upper stage(s) to inject a 500 kg payload in different low Earth orbits.
A commercially driven design approach to UK future small payload launch systems

TL;DR: The Future UK Small Payload Launcher (FSPLUK) as mentioned in this paper is an air launched integrated re-usable first stage vehicle, configured with a flexible internal payload bay from which one or more upper stages are deployed.
How to launch small payloads? Evaluation of current and future small payload launch systems
Stuart McIntyre,Travis Fawcett,Thomas Dickinson,Christie Alisa Maddock,Alessandro Mogavero,Lorenzo A. Ricciardi,Federico Toso,Michael West,Kostantinos Kontis,Kin Hing Lo,Sriram Rengarajan,David J.A. Evans,Andy Milne,Simon Feast +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a preferable vehicle classification alongside a brief description of key technologies available on the shelf or under development to address the demand of the small payload market, followed by a discussion on the investigation of the current market and the future forecast; regarding the delivery of small payloads into orbit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual design analysis for a two-stage-to-orbit semi-reusable launch system for small satellites
Christie Alisa Maddock,Lorenzo A. Ricciardi,Michael West,Joanne West,Konstantinos Kontis,Sriram Rengarajan,David J.A. Evans,Andy Milne,Stuart McIntyre +8 more
TL;DR: The aim of the system design is to develop a commercially viable launch system for near-term operation, thus emphasis is placed on the efficient use of high TRL technologies and on the commercial potential of the technical design.
