Advanced Manned Launch Systems (AMLS) studies underway at the NASA Langley Research Center are described. The AMLS studies have focused on investigating mission needs and identifying technologies, operational requirements, and life-cycle costs. Two-stage vertical take off rocket vehicles with significant levels of reusability are shown to be cost effective for moderate to high flight rates. All-hydrogen fuel vehicles are preferred over methane boosted systems for both operational and cost considerations. Drawings of possible AMLS design solutions are presented. Fully reusable, partially resusable, expendable stage and horizontal take off airbreather/rocket solutions are compared.
