Economic feasibility of all-rocket approach to reusable launch system is investigated considering following types -- all-expendable launch vehicle, Titan IIIC; second version for recovery of payloads includes reusable reentry vehicle, TIIIC-RV; new recoverable launch system, Partial Astrorocket -- stage 1 is recovered and reused; second version for recovery of payloads includes reusable re-entry vehicle, PAR-RV; new fully recoverable launch system, Astrorocket; both stages are recovered and stage 2 has inherent capability for payload recovery; it is shown that economic feasibility of reusable launch systems is influenced strongly by need for payload recovery.
