Various personnel launch systems (PLS) that would serve as one element in a space transportation architecture (which might include heavy-lift cargo vehicles and multirole spacecraft such as the current Space Shuttle) are presented. The PLS might be developed and operated by NASA or it might be attained as a commercial service, completely developed and operated by private enterprise. Consideration is given to a biconic-shaped spacecraft configuration, designed to carry ten people and be reused many times, and intended to be an initial reference design to assist in the overall analysis of operations, maintenance and manufacturing for a PLS.
