Creation of reusable launch vehicles and attraction of private commercial companies became a global trend in the aerospace industry. This is true for Russia as well. Private space companies construct expendable (Tszelun1, Hyperbola- 1, OS-M1) and planned reusable (Hyperbola-2, Zhuque-2, New Line 1) launch vehicles with a payback period of 2 - 3 years acceptable for commercial projects. Numerical simulations show that transition to reusable launch vehicles reduces the launch cost and increases the investment project efficiency. The cost of delivering one kilogram into a low-earth orbit is reaching USD 10,000. However, this achievement of the Chinese private companies will not be sufficient to compete with SpaceX that announced launching several 200 kg satellites for one million dollars each.
