The purpose of this paper is to present some aspects regarding the computational model and simulation for three stage launch vehicle (LV) used to inject in orbit small size payload. The computational model consists in numerical simulation of LV evolution for imposed start conditions. The launcher model presented will be with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) and variable mass. The results analysed will be the flight parameters and ballistic performances. The discussions area will focus around the technical possibility to realize a small multi-stage launcher, end evaluate his performance using the developed model. From technical point of view, the paper is focused on ESA project “Study – concept, to achieve a Small Orbital Launcher through zonal cooperation - SOL
