This study proposes a Two Stage to Orbit (TSTO) launcher aimed at deploying small payloads into low Earth orbit (LEO) by leveraging Rocket Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) technology. The proposed launcher comprises three stages: a solid rocket booster in the first stage, a reusable dual-mode ramjet-scramjet in the second stage, and a hybrid rocket in the third stage, enabling the insertion of payloads weighing approximately 100 kg into orbit. The design of the second stage is based on the VDK methodology, particularly focusing on the Kuckeman tau non-dimensional parameter. Additionally, mission analysis has been conducted to validate the launcher’s capability to meet mission requirements effectively.
