Description of a new, medium-class Delta launch-vehicle configuration, the three-stage Model 2914. The first stage of this vehicle is composed of a liquid-propellant core which is thrust-augmented with up to nine strap-on solid-propellant motors. The second stage, recently uprated with a strap-down inertial guidance system, is now being modified to adapt the liquid-propellant descent engine from the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module. The third stage is a spin-stabilized solid-propellant motor. The Model 2914 is capable of injecting 2040 kg into low earth orbit, 705 kg into geosynchronous transfer orbit, or 455 kg into an escape trajectory.
