Description of the mission and systems requirement of the solid rocket booster as it supports the Shuttle vehicle configuration. The solid booster is equipped with load skirts and linkages that can accommodate full mission loads, a solid propellant motor for delivering required performance, thrust vector control for augmentation of Shuttle vehicle ascent control, staging and separation systems, and electrical subsystems. To recover and reuse the solid booster case a recovery package is provided. The definition of these functional elements of the solid booster are discussed with the requirements placed on each element to satisfy the overall booster objective.
