Space shuttle systems are defined using a low technology orbiter combined with either an F-1 flyback booster or a pressure-fed booster. The mission and system requirements are given, and orbiter and booster configuration concepts are evaluated. Systems analyses and trades are discussed for LO2-RP propellent, F-1 engine main propulsion system, winged flyback recovery booster and for the pressure-fed, ocean recoverable, refurbishable booster system. Trade studies are also made for aluminum versus titanium orbiter and for crew location and compartment size.
