A single-stage to orbit (or SSTO) launcher describes an as-yet theoretical class of spacecraft designed to place a load into orbit as a self-contained vehicle without the use of multiple stages. No actual SSTO launchers have been constructed - current launches are either performed by multi-stage expendable rockets, or the Space Shuttle which is assisted by fuel tanks and solid fuel rockets that are jettisoned during the climb.

L'évolution vers le lanceur monoétage devrait se faire en trois phases. D'abord un bi-étage partiellement réutilisable à ergols liquide et boosters à poudre. Ensuite, un bi-étage complètement réutilisable uniquement à ergols liquides lui succédera avant l'apparition d'un monoétage à propulsion aérobie au-delà de 2020.
