NASA/DOD earth orbit shuttle traffic models based on side by side loading of payloads
Abstract
An analysis of the spacecraft configurations and space missions for the Earth Orbit Shuttle traffic model based on side-by-side loading of payloads is presented. The reusable tugs to be employed for the mission are examined. The space missions are described with respect to the following: (1) number of Earth Orbit Shuttle flights by inclination, (2) total payloads to orbit, (3) energy states required, and (4) characteristics of reusable tug.
