Pertinent data on the space shuttle and a selected space tug concept are given. Placement, retrieval, and roundtrip flights are considered for a geosynchronous mission with an orbital inclination of 28.5 deg, as well as for the geostationary mission. For both missions different strategies are discussed, and payload capabilities are calculated as a function of the tug initial mass for all strategies. The best strategy for each mission is determined. (Author)
