Since the beginning of the space age, the main actors in space exploration have been governmental agencies, enabling a privileged access to space, but with very restricted missions. The last decade has seen the rise of space tourism, and the founding of ambitious private space travel companies, showing the beginnings of a new exploration era, that is based on a more generalized and regular access to space and which is not limited to the Earth's vicinity. However, the cost of launching sufficient mass into orbit to sustain these inspiring challenges is prohibitively expensive and the necessary infrastructures to support these missions is still lacking. To provide easy and affordable access into orbital and deep space destinations, there is the need to reduce the drag forces that effects on the vehicles negatively and consume weights, that's means money.
This is a vision for a new space age based on small launch vehicles. An introduction to micro launchers and micro launchers technology with a general overview of rocket design and engineering but at a popular and student level. Written for those who have a basic understanding of design & Analysis [1].
