Reusable launch system
A reusable launch system, such as a rocket designed for multiple flights, is engineered to launch into space, return to Earth, and be used again for future missions. This approach reduces costs by avoiding the need to build new rockets for each launch. Key components, like the boosters or core stages, are recovered intact and refurbished. Examples include SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Blue Origin’s New Shepard. Reusability makes space travel more sustainable and economical, enabling more frequent missions and advancing exploration and commercial activities.
