摘要
This paper discusses the engine cost contribution to the life cycle cost of launch vehicles and what cost differences exist between engines designed for expendable and reusable vehicles. The cost drivers in the engine development and production phases, and during vehicle flight operation, are delineated. Analysis of historical cost data and parametric cost modeling were used as a basis for the cost observations. Several measures for potential engine cost reduction are discussed.
