NASA NTRS1971
This launch vehicle reference document contains mission characteristic and launch vehicle capability data for use by NASA and particularly the Office of Space Science and Applications (OSSA) in the preparation of future mission plans. The data in this reference book are derived from sources that are considered to be sufficiently accurate for advance planning. In no instance should these data be used for detailed mission planning without concurrence of the Director of Launch Vehicle and Propulsion Programs. This edition reflects updates in vehicle performance and possible availability and introduces a section on the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle section has been coordinated with the Office of Manned Space Flight.
