Optimal design of an Australian medium launch vehicle

GP Briggs, T Ray, JF Milthorpe - Innovations in Systems and Software …, 2007 - Springer
Conceptual design of a satellite launch vehicle is a multidisciplinary task which must take
into account interactions of disciplines such as propulsion, aerodynamics, structures,
guidance and orbital mechanics. We discuss the initial modelling of a clean sheet design for
a putative Australian medium launch vehicle capable of placing an Ariane-44L equivalent
payload into geostationary transfer orbit. While the Ariane-44L vehicle design is a three and
a half stage vehicle, the alternative design is for a straight three stage vehicle. The “ideal …
