The purpose of this study was to determine what cost advantages were likely to result from adoption of a Hub Spaceport operations strategy for RLV flight operations. The study found that launch cost reductions of 14% to 25% could result from basing RLV flight operations at a Hub Spaceport. The savings resuiting from more efficient utilization of RLVs was found to be greater than the savings resulting from eliminating the second launch facility.
