Study on Structural Expansion of Rocket Launch Systems — A Multi-Framework Approach Based on Replacement, Inversion, Parallelization, Staging, and Analogy —
Abstract
This paper proposes a structured framework to expand rocket launch system concepts using five transformation paradigms: replacement, inversion, parallelization, staging, and analogy. It systematically maps these paradigms to potential innovations in propulsion, launch infrastructure, system architecture, and operations, while explicitly noting trade-offs and feasibility limits. The study also provides claim-oriented structural prototypes to support patent strategy and evaluates writing structures suitable for rights-based protection.
