This paper investigates using a fully reusable launch vehicle to deliver humanitarian supplies to a crisis region. Missions to three different reference locations were analyzed. The intention of this paper is to examine the feasibly of using this type of launch vehicle to support rapid supply delivery missions. If a fully reusable launch vehicle where to be developed with aircraft like operability, these results show that it is feasible to deliver at least 6,000 lbm of cargo very rapidly anywhere in the world with the launch vehicle being completely based in the United States (no reliance on forward bases or foreign airports). |
