The results of the study on a future space transportation system, a flyback booster, is presented. The initial sizing of the rocket was conducted, and the following guidelines concerning the selection of its configurations are presented: (1) the speed increment allotment for the booster is aimed at less than 3,000 m/s in an ideal velocity when the rocket is on the premise that the booster returning to the launch site; (2) to minimize the rocket size, upgrading the upper stage structural efficiency is effective in designing the flyback booster; and (3) assuming and comparing four kinds of returning systems, it is deemed most prosperous to return in ballistic flight by re-igniting the booster immediately after upper stage separation. A study was conducted on winged and flare type (non-winged) bodies as examples based on the initial sizing data, and it was concluded that both types are feasible within the category of the existing design and materials.
