Methods of launching very large communications antennas via the Shuttle are considered. In order to focus the development of technology for proposed future missions the Large Space Systems Technology (LSST) Office developed the concept of 'focus missions'. The LSST focus missions were initiated by selecting characteristic classes of missions whose potential performance would satisfy a large number of specific missions : presently identified. Tables to identify the near and far term focus missions presently selected are given.
