Implementations of the disclosed subject matter may provide an adaptive thrust structure for a space launch vehicle that may include an interface block that is fluidically coupled to a fuel supply, a fuel manifold, an oxidizer supply, and an oxidizer manifold. A first adapter plate may be coupled to a first engine assembly. First adapter lines may be fluidically coupled to the first engine assembly and the interface block, via the first adapter plate. A second engine assembly, second adapter lines, and a second adapter plate are capable of replacing the first engine assembly, first adapter lines, and first adapter plate. Implementations of the disclosed subject matter may provide a reusable and reconfigurable launch vehicle that may include a reusable second stage, and a reusable and reconfigurable transporter having a plurality of zones that are configurable to transport cargo, one or more passengers, and/or one or more satellites.
