Newly declassified details of the analysis behind the U.S. Air Force’s decision to opt for a next-generation reusable booster system (RBS) reveal a long-term preference for a rocket-based combined-cycle upper-stage orbiter over the nearer-term expendable solution. The RBS plan is in development to replace the Air Force’s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELVs) beyond 2025, and aims to halve launch costs by combining a reusable first stage with expendable upper stages. The booster would take off vertically and return to a runway landing at the launch site.
