Mathematical procedure is derived whereby optimum staging for minimum cost may be computed, with minimum weight staging obtained as special case; fixed costs and costs that vary with motor weight are considered in solution; results produce minimum-cost staging either for fixed payload or launch weight; problems of minimum-weight staging for fixed payload or maximum-payload staging for fixed launch weight may also be treated by this analysis; optimization procedure is demonstrated; it applies equally to solid, liquid and nuclear rockets.
