Abstract
The industry/NASA Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology program is intended to mature and demonstrate technologies leading to a viable, reusable commercial launch system that can satisfy national needs and achieve acceptable recurring costs. This paper reviews the current status of the RLV Technology program including the DC-XA, X-33, X-34 flight systems and associated technology programs and examines some lessons learned from the recently completed DC-X reusable rocket demonstrator program.Keywords
