Abstract
For many countries (United States of America, Russia, Europe, Japan, etc.), the launch vehicles are cornerstones of an independent access to space. The space agency strategies for Solar system exploration, Earth monitoring and observation, human spaceflight are developed in accordance with their launch vehicle capabilities. Launch vehicle designs are long term projects (around a decade) involving large budgets and requiring efficient organization.
