What (who) is Boeing Small Launch Vehicle - definition
Boeing Small Launch Vehicle
The Boeing Small Launch Vehicle, or SLV, is an air-launched three-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle concept aimed to launch small payloads of into low Earth orbit. The program is proposed to drive down launch costs for small satellites as low as per launch ($7,000/kg) and could be fielded by 2020.

An expendable launch system (or expendable launch vehicle/ELV) is a launch vehicle that can be launched only once, after which its components are either destroyed during reentry or discarded in space. ELVs typically consist of several rocket stages that are discarded sequentially as their fuel is exhausted and the vehicle gains altitude and speed.
