MDO approach for a two-stage microlauncher
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper focuses on the multidisciplinary optimisation and preliminary design of a two-stage microlauncher capable of inserting a small 50 kg payload into Low Earth Orbit. The microlauncher is obtained using a MDO approach, where the lightest configuration capable of reaching the target orbit is considered to be optimal. For this paper, the propulsion system of the microlauncher is based on a non-cryogenic bipropellant combination.
