  1. William Yeong Liang Ling2/14/2008PropulsionThe effect and trends of launch type on launch costs (Model Analysis)Credit to all code authors and all MAT teams AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  2. Model results and trends • Things of note: • Rapid increase in price with delta-v • Delta-v effect on price for balloons • 1kg more expensive than 0.2kg at 18km/s • All cases above 9km/s for aircraft had GLOW > White Knight payload • Simplification of balloon cost model Credit to all code authors and all MAT teams AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  3. Future work • Refine ground support and personnel cost modifiers • Consider aircraft that can carry higher payloads (e.g. cargo planes, very likely reduction in forward velocity) • Code for automation from a list of cases AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
