A family of launch vehicles developed to serve U.S. and international space transportation needs is described. Early vehicles will carry from 135 to 1400 kg to low Earth orbit. These vehicles are based on a common hybrid propulsion module utilizing an environmental benign solidified hydrocarbon fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer. A suborbital single module test vehicle will be launched in mid 1989 to demonstrate systems required for orbital operation.
