The Aristarchus MLV was the Drooian Space Agency's (DSA) first partnership with a private launch company. This historic partnership however, did not occur before some governmental pushback due to a member of the drooian council having an apparent hatred for commercial space flight. The Low Cost Commercial launch vehicle Development Program (LCCLV) was authorized, Allowing the Deneb Areospace Corporation to partner with the DSA on a low cost, partially reusable launch vehicle. In the ballpark of 18 million per launch, this was the DSA's Cheapest MLV and the lowest on the market. Engine section reuse allowed for costs to drop to 14.9 million per launch, as it uses highly advanced Full Flow Staged Combustion Cycle (FFSC) kerolox engines. recovery the second stage engine section is currently being considered.
The Aristarchus launch vehicle is easily the most versatile on the market, varients with solid boosters and a "Triple barrel" varient currently being evaluated. Aristarchus will enable Droo to send more payload to Droo orbit and beyond. With the right payload, the Aristarchus MLV can cut a trip to Tydos in half by skipping complex gravity assists.
