据认为，进一步大幅度降低经常性发射费用的一个潜在手段是使发射器可重复使用，提高其可靠性，并使其适合于大众空间旅游等新市场，这也将促进小型卫星的发射率。因此，不仅应长期考虑在非定期飞行中使用一次性火箭发射小型卫星，而且还应考虑在定期飞行中使用可重复使用火箭发射小型卫星。然而，开发、生产和运营可重复使用的火箭需要从根本上改变目前“一切照旧”的理念。在目前的条件下，可能不可能经济地开发、生产或运营可重复使用的车辆。最受欢迎的哲学是基于作者使用成本工程技术改编的“智能业务”流程。在下面的文件中，主要的战略，以降低成本进行了讨论，这是一个代表性的计划建议。
It is believed that a potential means for further significant reduction of the recurrent launch cost, which results also in a stimulation of launch rates of small satellites, is to make the launcher reusable, to increase its reliability and to make it suitable for new markets such as mass space tourism. Therefore, not only launching small satellites with expendable rockets on non-regular flights but also with reusable rockets on regular flights should be considered for the long term. However, developing, producing and operating reusable rockets require a fundamental change in the current “business as usual” philosophy. Under current conditions, it might not be possible to develop, to produce or to operate a reusable vehicle fleet economically. The favorite philosophy is based on “smart business” processes adapted by the authors using cost engineering techniques. In the following paper, major strategies for reducing costs are discussed, which are applied for a representative program proposal.
