Description of some system integration studies which were carried out to define design requirements ensuring compatibility and satisfactory performance of individual Space Shuttle elements. Studies considered include definition of a vehicle concept providing a tradeoff between development and flight costs, evaluation of the need for booster thrust vector control, and analysis of optimum methods for vehicle control in aerodynamic flight.
