Abstract
Nowadays space access is guaranteed by expandable launchers which, once the mission has ended, can’t be reuse for the successive mission. This involves a big waste of resources and necessarily high costs. One solution to reduce the costs and gain flexibility in space missions is the use of reusable or partially reusable vehicle. Reusable launch vehicles are facing a great evolution in the last years, and in particular reusable two-stage-to-orbit have been identified from many studies as the vehicle of the future in the aerospace field because they have the capability of delivering a wide range of payload in orbit at low cost, with a greater flexibility using conventional airports and infrastructures even gaining many operative and legal advantages.
This thesis has a twofold target: the first is to find a useful method to define the most important data, called guess data, which are used to start the conceptual design of a TSTO vehicle and the second is to adapt the matching chart analysis to this type of vehicles; for both the points it has been developed a Graphical User Interface in Matlab environment using App Designer
