bounds. In the case of H-25, it might be necessary to accelerate the fly-back boosters to above 2 km/s (1.2 mi/s) to help the upper stage achieve its desired orbit. Consequently, two solutions were proposed to decelerate the boosters after separation. The first option was to actively decelerate them using 10 tonnes (11 short tons) of fuel and reduce the velocity by 300 m/s (980 ft/s). However, launch performance would drop below that of the Vega derivative. Another option is to use aerodynamic forces to decelerate. However, a

carrying 50 tonnes (55 short tons) of propellant. The payload fairing mount atop the orbiter would be 5.4 by 20.5 metres (18 ft Ă— 67 ft). For LEO missions, the launch vehicle would be 57.3 metres (188 ft) tall, with a gross lift-off mass of 739.4 tonnes (815.0 short tons). The payload to LEO would be 12,800 kilograms (28,200 lb), with an increase to 8,500 kilograms (18,700 lb) to GTO when using an expandable upper stage.

would use a new Vulcain 3 main engine, with increased vacuum thrust. When launched with a single booster, both stages would be operated in parallel, and be delivered to a 180 by 800 km (110 by 500 mi) orbit before separation. The remaining upper stage composite would weigh 7,360 kg (16,230 lb), with a 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) payload performance to SSO. When launching to

The proposed configuration consisted of two boosters with retractable wings attached to the external fuel tank, and a reusable orbiter with fixed wings carrying payload on top of it. During 3348: 45: 3324: 622: 551: 521:. Depending on the method of deceleration, the payload to SSO is between 1,481 and 2,788 kg (3,265 and 6,146 lb). The third was a large cryogenic upper stage, called H-185, based on an alternative, yet-to-be-developed Ariane 5 main stage with 185 tonnes (204 short tons) of cryogenic fuel. Its payload to SSO is 5,000 kg (11,000 lb). 482: 445:. The cruise back to the airport requires about 3,650 kg (8,050 lb) of hydrogen fuel and takes over two hours to complete. An undercarriage is deployed and each booster lands autonomously. After separation, the boosters are not under threat of collision until they land due to small differences in their initial flight trajectories. 260:, undertook this objective, they failed to meet their goals. Supporting technologies needed for LFBB construction can be developed within 10 years, and additional launchers can be developed based on fly-back boosters to minimise costs and provide maintenance synergy across multiple classes of launch vehicles. 608:
When launched to a 200 km Ă— 600 km (120 mi Ă— 370 mi) Low Earth transfer orbit, the LFBBs would separate at an altitude of 51 km (32 mi), at a speed of 1.55 km/s (0.96 mi/s). To avoid simultaneous separation of all boosters, either a cross-feed to the

The heaviest configuration uses a single booster with an asymmetrically mounted, large, expendable cryogenic stage designated H-185. It was proposed as a future variant of the Ariane 5 core stage (H158), eventually meant to phase out the main stage in a standard launch configuration with LFBB. H-185

was proposed. Flight dynamics simulation revealed that a ballute with a cross-section of 45 m (480 sq ft) offered the best compromise between loads on the booster and deceleration by aerodynamic forces. In this configuration, a launch performance of up to 2,788 kg (6,146 lb)

The advantages of reusable boosters include simplicity from using only one type of fuel, environmental friendliness, and lower reoccurring costs. Studies concluded that reusable fly-back boosters would be the most affordable and the least risky way for European space launch systems to start becoming

Two of the lighter configurations (the Zefiro 23 and the H-25) use upper stages mounted on top of the booster. Due to the lower weight, it might have been necessary to lower the amount of fuel in a booster to ensure that the separation velocity, the flight path, and the reentry do not exceed design

The external tank, being a core of the system, would have a diameter of 5.4 metres (18 ft) and a height of 30.5 metres (100 ft), carrying 167.5 tonnes (184.6 short tons) of propellant. The attached orbiter would be 28.8 metres (94 ft) tall and 3.6 metres (12 ft) in diameter,

A typical mission profile would begin with the ignition of a main stage and both boosters, followed by an acceleration to 2 km/s (1.2 mi/s) and then a separation at the altitude of 50 km (31 mi). As the main stage continues its flight into orbit, the boosters follow a

The Super-Heavy Lift Launcher (SHLL) would consist of a new cryogenic main stage, five liquid fly-back boosters, and a re-ignitable injection stage. This configuration was designed to provide increased capabilities for complex missions, including crewed explorations to the

The thing that shocked me was that at the beginning, this reusable flyback booster was just a cylinder with engines and little wings, just a turbo fan in the back. And three years later these were complete Airbuses in terms of size with four engines in each of

The aim of the LFBB project at DLR was to reduce Ariane 5 operational costs and to develop future derivatives, including a reusable first stage of a small-to-medium launch vehicle, a super-heavy launch vehicle capable of lifting 67 tonnes (74 short tons) to 213:; English: Systems and Technologies for Space Transportation Applications) programme from 1999 to 2005, with additional studies continuing until 2009.
