The space project described concerns a reusable space transportation system (STS) for the transport of heavy cargo payloads in the order of 100 tons into geostationary orbit and energy equivalent space missions. It is intended to become the backbone of a global space program. This STS is expected to supplement the space shuttle STS and any remaining expendable carrier vehicles on or about 1990. The anticipated market situation for such a vehicle and the economical and political environment are considered in the form of two possible scenarios. Possible vehicle concept alternatives are indicated and typical selection criteria to arrive at the best possible configuration are listed. One of the possible configurations is selected for illustrative purposes and described in some detail with respect to dimensions, masses, performance, and cost. This description is complemented by a representative time, financial, and organizational plan. Potential benefits are evaluated and presented.
