Alternatives to all-propulsive manned Orbit Transfer Vehicles (OTV) are presented that utilize aeromaneuvering in combination with propulsive maneuvering. A summary of the results of feasibility and concept definition studies is induced along with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of aeromaneuvering as compared with all-propulsive vehicles. Manned aeromaneuvering OTV concepts are described, including the Aeromaneuvering Orbit-to-Orbit Shuttle (AMOOS) for future orbital transportation and the Aeromaneuvering Recovery System (AMRS) for emergency recovery of crewmen from high-altitude orbits. Data are provided regarding aeromaneuvering OTV configurations, performance, systems, tradeoffs, mission applications, and major design parameters, such as dynamic pressure, heating rates, and guidance.
