An evaluation of methods for emergency rescue of space crews using the Earth Orbit Shuttle was conducted. Emergency situations were analyzed for the mission categories of extravehicular activity, space shuttle orbiter, space station, and research applications module (RAM). Five different transfer concept categories were analyzed and each was scored on the basis of its operational effectiveness. A cost analysis of the transfer operations was developed.
