Question: Perform preliminary sizing calculations for a two stage liquid prepellant launch vehicle to lift 1 0 . 0 0 0 kg payload to GTO. Propellant

Perform preliminary sizing calculations for a two stage liquid prepellant launch vehicle to lift 10.000 kg payload to GTO. Propellant is CH4 and LOX. (Assume or calculate required mission velocity. Choose appropriate combustion parameters and calculate average effective exhaust velocity for each stage, calculate MR for each stage, estimate a payload mass ratio from historical data. Calculate total propellant mass, fuel mass, oxidizer mass. Calculate tank volume and propose preliminary sizing for tanks (do not forget expulsion efficiency and ullage requirements).
