A reusable staging system comprising: a processor-based device configured to monitor one or more rocket stages of a launch vehicle having a payload, wherein the processor-based device has at least one interface communicating with the one or more rocket stages of the launch vehicle; and a memory device for storing data and executing software routines, and wherein the reusable staging system is disposed within the payload of the launch vehicle, and wherein the reusable staging system is configured to actively monitor flight-related data to detect one or more detach requirements; and further configured to release the one or more rocket stages when the one or more detach requirements is met.
