A comparison was made between the methods of access utilized, or proposed, by the military, commercial airlines, and the space shuttle Phase B contractors. The methodology was subjected to consideration for space shuttle use and similarity to current space shuttle access concepts. The Phase B contractor concepts were in turn methodology was subjected to consideration for space shuttle use and similarity to current space shuttle access concepts. The Phase B contractor concepts were in turn examined for degree of use of the state-of-the-art and progressive extension of new cost-effective ideas. This comparison disclosed a need for better definition of the criteria/requirements for space shuttle access equipment. Preliminary criteria, needed prior to initiation of the detail design (Phase C/D effort) of ground hardware for the operational site, are presented. (Author)
