Research Summary

A small-lift launch vehicle is a type of rocket designed to carry relatively small payloads into space, typically payloads weighing up to a few hundred kilograms to low Earth orbit (LEO). These launch vehicles are characterized by their smaller size, lower cost, and ability to provide dedicated access to space for small satellites, scientific payloads, and technology demonstrators. Small-lift launch vehicles often employ solid or liquid-fueled propulsion systems and are capable of launching from a variety of launch sites, including terrestrial launch pads and air-launch platforms. They play a crucial role in the emerging small satellite industry, enabling frequent and affordable access to space for a wide range of applications, including Earth observation, communications, scientific research, and technology development. Small-lift launch vehicles contribute to the democratization of space access by providing opportunities for universities, research institutions, and commercial entities to deploy their payloads into orbit.
