For more than twenty years, EADS LV, former AEROSPATIALE Space &Defence Division, has been carrying out technical studies on reusable launch systems as a potential successor of current expendable systems such as Ariane 5. After numerous achievements aiming at identifying the most promising configuration, activities related to mechanical design of reusable stages have been engaged in order to better analyse the technological key issues and consolidate the major system assumptions such as mass budget. The orbiter of a two-stage-to-orbit configuration has been used as reference baseline for this purpose, allowing work at different but consistent levels : This approach has been initiated by EADS LV on its own funding before being enlarged and deepened through a CNES contract. This paper intends to present the approach undertaken, especially the way each level is linked to each other, the main assumptions and the results obtained. A specific focus is given on the design of a liquid hydrogen metallic tank using near-term technologies through the various study steps :
