In 1985, a presidential directive initiated the National Space Transportation and Support Study which instructed NASA and the DOD to look at the national needs for large system architecture, avionics, and mission requirements to support the design of space transportation systems through the year 2010. The purpose of the joint NASA-DOD program resulting from the directive was to conduct studies to determine the technology development required for the design of the next generation of space transportation systems. These objectives are discussed in greater detail in reference 1. Much of the proposed research is mission motivated, and vehicle operations will be the focal point for this research. In this paper, we will primarily discuss NASA's input to the avionics technology development plan. NATO Furnished. (rh)
