Scientific paper

A historical review of design concepts for a spent-stage living compartment in space is presented. Consideration is given to concepts developed in conjunction with the S-IV and S-V rockets of the Apollo program, including the airlock and multiple docking adapter concept (1965); an orbital docking cluster concept (1966); and an S-IVB spent propulsive stage docked to the airlock of the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM). The applications of a spent stage in future Space Station designs is also discussed. It is pointed out that the current high funding levels for NASA Space Station development activities may eliminate the need for the cost savings inherent in the spent-stage design.
