Abstract. For the rapid prototyping of a flight engineering vehicle, data from various building blocks and the required engineering tools for designing critical subsystems are crucial elements. In this context, Politecnico di Torino developed an integrated methodology toolset capable of speeding up the design and validation of various space transportation systems, with a focus on microlaunchers and human landing systems. This research was carried out under the direction of the European Space Agency (ESA).
