X-34 Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator Mass Properties Engineering Challenges %A Bocam, K J %K 18. Weight Engineering - Spacecraft Design %X X-34 is an Air Launched Reusable Hypersonic Testbed and a key component in NASA's Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Program. This paper examines the mass properties related challenges resulting from developing a reusable hypersonic technology demonstrator in a concurrent engineering environment. An overview of the scope and content of the X-34 Program and its role in NASA's RLV Program is given. Unique elements of developing a low cost RLV demonstrator and their implications to vehicle mass properties are addressed. %B 57th Annual Conference, Wichita, Kansas, May 18-20 %I Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc. %C Wichita, Kansas %P 13 %8 5/18/98 %G eng %U https://www.sawe.org/papers/2411/buy %9 18.
