The objective was to establish an earth storable fluids tanker concept which satisfies the initial resupply requirements for the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO) for reasonable front end (design, development, verification) cost while providing growth potential for foreseeable future earth storable resupply mission requirements. The achievement of these objectives becomes possible with the development of a modularized tanker concept which is a hybrid of a dedicated GRO tanker and a generic earth storable propellant tanker.
