Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology:
The global space sector is shifting from government-led exploration to private-driven commercial activity, with Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) technology emerging as a key disruptor.As the market is projected to exceed USD 1 trillion by 2030, reusability has reduced launch costs by 5–20 times, enabling more sustainable and frequent access to space. An RLV is a space launch system designed to allow for the recovery of some or all of its component stages.Unlike “expendable” rockets that burn up or are discarded in the ocean, RLVs return to Earth to be refurbished and flown again. Rocket motion is governed by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, which shows that carrying fuel itself adds weight, and additional weight demands even more fuel.
