Current studies are examining two-stage fully reusable vehicles, heavy-lift vehicles, and rocket engines for these vehicles. A previous study showed that several advanced engine designs could reduce the dry mass of a single-stage vehicle relative to designs with the baseline hydrocarbon and hydrogen engines. This paper reports the results of a similar study for two-stage vehicles. The results indicate that the advanced engines can reduce the dry mass of two-stage vehicles, and that the same engine can be used for both stages.
