B2

Launch vehicles (1400) with ring-shaped external elements (1480), and associated systems and methods are disclosed. An aerospace system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a launch vehicle (1400) having a first end and a second end generally opposite the first end, with the launch vehicle being elongated along a vehicle axis (V) extending between the first and second ends, and having an external, outwardly facing surface. The system further includes an annular element (1480) carried by the launch vehicle, the annular element having an external, inwardly-facing surface radially spaced apart from, and extending at least partially circumferentially around, the vehicle axis. The annular element has a first edge surface facing a first direction along the vehicle axis, and a second edge surface facing a second direction along the vehicle axis, the second direction being opposite the first direction. A propulsion system is carried by the launch vehicle, and has at least one nozzle (1411) positioned toward the first end of the vehicle to launch the vehicle. A controller can be in communication with the launch vehicle and programmed to direct the vehicle in the first direction during vehicle ascent, and in the second direction during vehicle descent.
