The rise of reusable rockets: transforming
the economics of space travel

By Adam Stockley

Various theoretical designs of reusable launch
vehicles (rockets) have been tested during the
history of space flight, but they generally proved
too expensive or impractical to implement.

In the 21st century, the rise in industry
privatisation led to several companies taking the
lead in reusable launcher development. Their
focus is on fully-reusable systems.

The potential of reusable rockets to transform
the economics of space travel should be
evident. Even so, let’s break down the benefits
and drawbacks of this technology to understand
more.

The Benefits of Reusable Rockets

The most obvious benefit of a reusable rocket is
cost savings. Unsurprisingly, it’s much cheaper
to refurbish and relaunch a rocket than it is to
build a new one. Reusable rockets also use less
fuel than their expendable counterparts, making
them comparatively better for the environment.

The Drawbacks of Reusable Rockets

The main disadvantage of reusable rockets is
their reduced load capacity. By extension, they
must be built to survive the difficulties of launch
and re-entry, meaning there is much more extra
stabilisation equipment. Therefore, the rockets
are heavier.

The Long-Term Viability of Reusable
Launchers

The bottom line is that now we have a firmer
understanding of the concept of reusable
launchers, their potential impact is limitless.
However, there are some issues to resolve in
terms of extra weight and reduced load
capacity, but the space industry is very near to
perhaps its biggest revolution in terms of cost
reduction and accessibility.
