The Advanced Concepts Office (ACO) at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)has been performing conceptual design of launch vehicles since the Space Transportation System Program. As part of its duties ACO has been tasked with investigating the effects of known and potential threats and opportunities to a myriad of launch vehicle concepts, launch sites, and mission profiles known as the launch space. As the launch space becomes more crowded and busy with launch providers and their vehicles, the legacy method of prescribing each design discipline to a single human Subject Matter Expert (SME) has become infeasible. Rapidly changing launch, economical, and political constraints require rapid evaluation of their effects. While moving into this future of rapid response does require streamlining of data and processes, it does not however lead directly to reinventing the wheel. Flight-validated analysis tools, procedures, and lessons learned can be effectively leveraged to bring the experience from decades of government and commercial flight programs to the new paradigm. In this publication we describe the aggregation of all previous launch vehicle design efforts of ACO into an automated and integrated toolchain called menagerie. The toolchain utilizes a suite of NASA, Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), and ACO-developed tools and processes to evaluate launch vehicle concepts, mission profiles, and trades in a fraction of the time previously required.
