The development space transportation options to earth orbit and beyond are summarized. The performance of available launch systems is reviewed, including the Scout, Delta, Long March 3, Atlas Centaur, Ariane 3, Titan 34D, Proton, the Japanese M-3S-II, N-1, and H-1, and the Space Shuttle. Launch vehicle which are planned or are under development are examined, including the Conestoga, Industrial Launch Vehicle, Titan II, Delta II, H-II, Ariane 5, Titan IV, and the NASA/DOD Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle. Also, issues pertinent to the development of space transportation vehicles are considered, such as reliability, reduced unit cost, reduced lead time, and improved payload accommodations.
