In January 1998, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) released the first edition of the Reusable Launch Vehicle Programs and Concepts sourcebook. The report provided company background, design, and technical information on commercial, government, and international reusable launch vehicle (RLV) programs. The report filled a need for up-to-date, objective information on reusable launch vehicle activities and has become, by far, ASTs most popular publication. The reusable launch vehicle industry made important strides in 1998 towards realizing operational vehicles. Since the first release of this report, several RLV companies have conducted flight and component hardware tests. Others have tests that are scheduled for 1999. Last year, the FAA Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation was given full responsibilities for licensing reusable launch vehicles under the Commercial Space Act of 1998. This report is intended to monitor and report on the progress of this rapidly emerging and growing space industry segment a segment that could revolutionize space access by achieving lower cost of access to space. This second edition of the sourcebook provides updates on the existing programs and includes information on new programs and vehicles that have been proposed since the release of the 1998 edition.
