A Model-Based Framework for Synthesis of Space Transportation Architectures

摘要

The objective in the development of the Dynamic Rocket EQuation Tool (DYREQT) is to provide generalized synthesis of space transportation architectures, enabling an executable architecture capability for advanced vehicle and mission concepts. This paper provides an initial introduction to the framework, demonstrates the flexibility of its application to a Mars flyby mission and a vertical takeoff, horizontal landing launch vehicle. It concludes with some developments that can be expected in the future.
