| dc.description.abstract | On the heels of the recent success of the X-Prize, sub-orbital space tourism is nearly a reality. Though the requirements are significantly tougher, orbital space tourism is the next logical step. The Reusable Exploration Vehicle (REV) concept is an economically feasible design capable of making this next step. Centered around a lenticular lifting body, the REV concept relies on commercial launch vehicles to reduce DDT&E expenditures. Capable of ferrying five passengers and one crew member for three orbits, the REV is shown to be capable of keeping maximum debt exposure to less than $250M while attaining an IRR of 70% with an estimated market capture of 66%. | |
