The purpose of this paper is to evaluate if the existing family of Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles are capable of satisfying ORS responsiveness requirements. The paper will demonstrate that with properly targeted investments, and Concept of Operations (CONOP) changes, EELVs can meet most anticipated space launch responsiveness requirements. Additionally, this paper will identify the launch responsiveness requirements EELVs are incapable of satisfying and it will evaluate launch vehicle alternatives to address those specific shortfalls. Finally, this paper will examine spacelift systems in responsiveness terms as applied to general ORS concepts. The paper will not attempt to match specific ORS payloads or satellites to a particular launch vehicle or launch system.
