Space Player

In a second step, Re-Use options were examined systematically on two levels, the technical and the industrial level, to optimize development cost in the short term and production costs in the medium term, and to prepare the expected increase in production rate.
Finally, iteration loops were implemented and facilitated between all players to converge on a global platform optimization.
