Scientific paper

A heavy lift launch vehicle is the linchpin of any plan for returning men to the Moon. Recent studies defining manned Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) lunar missions have focused on National Launch System and Saturn V derivatives as a basis for mission planning. The cancellation of the National Launch System (NLS) program in the fall of 1992 effectively eliminated that vehicle; or more specifically within the context of this article, using the first two Saturn V stages, S-IC and the S-II, to support a mission architecture based on the Earth Orbit Rendezvous (EOR) mode.
