Conventional power distribution and control systems as employed in Apollo space vehicles and modern aircraft are reviewed, and arguments are presented in favor of applying some new techniques in the design of electric power systems for future manned spacecraft. Current Space Shuttle studies show that each pound of weight for supporting subsystems causes overall vehicle weight at launch to increase by 34.5 lb, with proportional cost penalty. The presently available technology for an improved automatic or semiautomatic distribution and control system should be implemented. A systems approach based on the most current technology is discussed along with a unique method of system development, testing, and evaluation.
