Study extension activities performed to investigate modifications to the reusable space shuttle concept are summarized. The investigation of various space shuttle system options were performed in two phases. Phase 1 encompassed investigation of systems using orbiters with external propellant tanks and an interim expendable booster, which allowed phased development of the reusable orbiter and booster. Phase 2 studies were directed toward the definition of a program which would able booster, which allowed phased development of the reusable orbiter and booster. Phase 2 studies were directed toward the definition of a program which would maximize the use of existing technology for the orbiter and which would also use existing hardware for the booster, as well as the simplification of designs for cost reduction.
