Equations useful in design studies are derived for determining the optimum weight distribution for two-stage tandem rockets for the case of different structural factors and propellant specific impulses in each stage. Minimization of gross weight for a given required burnout velocity and payload is the criterion of optimization used. For illustrative purposes an example is included in which the optimum distribution is found for a hypothetical chemically-boosted atomic rocket. (Author)
