    Title

    Small Launchers: concepts and operations

    Description

    Discussion of existing, planned or future Small Launchers and On-orbit transfer systems for small payloads (from 500 kg to as low as 1 kg into Low Earth Orbit). Includes innovative solutions such as airborne systems, evolutions from sub-orbital concepts and flexible, highly reactive concepts. Includes piggy-back solutions based on larger launchers. Includes mission operations,associated operations and specific constraints.
