Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper is well-written in general. However, there are too many paragraphs and sections. They can be combined and better structured. Also, please clarify the state-of-the-art contribution in the introduction.

Reviewer 3 Report
- The paper is well presented but it is very similar to a research report.
- The conclusions are absent, there are no difference with the other models in literature.
- The example made are very far to a real LV (i.e. We will considerate a hypothetical LTV with initial mass 100 kg, from which prope lant is 70 kg, equipped with liquid rocket engine with specific impulse ???=230[?], spe cific for regular liquid engine (Kerosene + LOX), with maximum thrust ?0=1200 [?] and reactive force of one RCS element ?=5 [?] .) and so it is difficult to understand if the models presented are reliable or not. The subparts of the models could be, in principle, compared with some similar examples in literature. As example in the highlighted part it could be used something from literature for what concerns thruster performances.
The manuscript shall be improved in all its part and, at that point, it could be considered for publication.
