The application of cost optimization to vehicle design is discussed relative to establishing ground rules for a minimum cost heavy cargo launch vehicle to transport the Satellite Power System to geosynchronous orbit. Criteria defined include: fully reusable; unmanned; technical simplicity; and operations simplicity. Graphs are presented depicting (1) the launch vehicle concept schematic, (2) the cost comparison, (3) the launch vehicle sizing, and (4) the specific transportation cost.
