Rho-Isp Revisited and Basic Stage Mass Estimating for Launch Vehicle Conceptual Sizing Studies

Abstract

A single metric for judging between two candidate propellant combinations for a given application is sought. By using the ideal rocket equation, the essential link between propellant density and specific impulse as the two primary performance drivers can be demonstrated.
