Scientific paper

Studies of future space missions have shown that transport vehicles which utilize passage (aeroassisted) through the atmosphere of the earth or an appropriate planet have a substantial payload advantage over earlier concepts which used retro propulsion to effect the transition to local orbit. A description is presented of aeroassisted concepts currently under consideration for application to NASA's advanced space entry missions. Proposed aeroassisted planetary orbit entry vehicles are considered, taking into account the aerobrake concept, the aerocapture concept, proposed aeroassisted earth orbit entry vehicles, the application of Shuttle launched research vehicles to aerobrake and aerocapture technology validation, Shuttle launched vehicle options, flight trajectory options, and trajectory termination options.
