Martin (1983) compared methane and propane fuels for a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle, demonstrating a significant advantage for propane. Attention is presently given to the ways that this comparison changes when both methane and propane vehicles are optimized. It is found that while the difference is slightly reduced, propane remains the better hydrocarbon fuel for dry mass minimization.
