Abstract
The advancement of mobility is leading to increased convenience and expanding the scope of human activities beyond imagination. Among the existing modes of mobility, space launch vehicles stand out as the means capable of traveling the farthest. The global competition and interest surrounding them are notably intense. This article aims to introduce the significance of space launch vehicles as a form of mobility and shed light on the management activities required to ensure their reliable service.
