NASA's Shuttle-C is being considered to provide additional access to space and to take fullest advantage of the existing Space Transportation System (STS) infrastructure. Considerations are presented to accommodate the larger and heavier payloads needed for the manned Lunar-Mars missions under study. Shuttle-C can help reduce the frequency of manned Shuttle launches, thus stretching the Orbiter's lifetime and availability. It can also offer cost-effective service as a test bed to demonstrate improved STS elements now under development or being planned. This can help to improve reliability, performance, and operational capability of current STS and new space launch systems, with resultant cost savings. It is noted that numerous missions and payloads, including space station deployment, launch of planetary probes, scientific and military satellites, and demonstration of advanced technologies, can benefit from the availability of Shuttle-C.
