A space vehicle is the combination of a spacecraft and its launch vehicle which carries it into space. The earliest space vehicles were expendable launch systems , using a single or multistage rocket to carry a relatively small spacecraft in proportion to the total vehicle size and mass. [ 1 ]
The Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) is a three-stage partially reusable Heavy-lift launch vehicle, currently under development by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This vehicle is designed to replace currently operational systems like PSLV, GSLV and LVM3. The project was previously referred to as Unified Launch Vehicle (ULV ...

New Glenn launches from Space Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, January 16, 2025. On 12 June 2024 Blue Origin received the communications license for the inaugural flight of New Glenn. [46] The vehicle was selected for the U.S. NSSL program with expectation that the inaugural launch would occur no later than December 2024 ...
Diagram of the next generation crewed spacecraft tested in 2020. Intended to replace the Shenzhou spacecraft, the new vehicle is larger and lunar-capable. It consists of two modules: a crew module that returns to Earth, and an expendable service module to provide propulsion, power and life support for the crew module while in space. [11]
Dream Chaser flight test vehicle in 2013. Dream Chaser is an American reusable lifting-body spaceplane developed by Sierra Space.Originally intended as a crewed vehicle, the Dream Chaser Space System is set to be produced after the Dream Chaser Cargo System cargo variant is operational.
The vehicle Starship composes when combined with the Super Heavy booster, also named Starship, [1] has been developed with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale. [2] SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages , increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing ...
