Scientific paper

The space transfer vehicle (STV) concept for SEI is reviewed with particular attention given to direct STV support in the development of the space and ground-based system configurations recommended in the 90-Day and the First Lunar Outpost Studies, and evaluation of the Synthesis Committee Lunar Mission recommendations. The STV architectures under consideration include a complete lunar space and ground based transportation system (LTS) made up of a lunar transportation vehicle and a lunar excursion vehicle and the translunar injection stage. The goal of STV is to pursue the development of the upper stage/LTS concept taking into account system and subsystem modularity, functional and hardware commonalities among mission and transportation vehicles, and flexibility in both system design and operation.
