Scientific paper

A proprietary feasibility evaluation is presented for more cost-effective means of accomplishing manned lunar missions than those of the Apollo program. The proposal involves a series of flights employing the Space Shuttle Orbiter and an expendable launcher such as the Ariane 5, which would be supplied by the ESA. The crew module would be externally similar to the Apollo three-man capsule, but would be smaller due to a two-man crew. Cost projections are made which encompass hardware development, production, testing, and operations (including those of the Space Shuttle and Ariane 5).
