context_page_description: The Kistler K-1 was to have been a two-stage, fully reusable launch vehicle in commercial development by Rocketplane Kistler. It was designed to accommodate a wide range of missions, including payload delivery to low Earth orbit, payload delivery to high-energy orbits with a K-1 Active Dispenser, technology demonstration flights, microgravity missions, and commercial cargo resupply, recovery, and reboost services for the International Space Station.
  After failing to meet financial milestones, NASA announced in October 2007 that it was terminating funding for the project.
