During the search for simple, appropriate shapes of RV-NW space vehicles the designers discovered the cone, respectively the bicone shapes as possible candidates. In particular the bicone shapes offer the capability to design a mission adapted configuration with specific properties. This is due to their large geometrical possibilities.
