    Description: The theory, functional description, and operating instructions of a general purpose maneuver analysis program are described. The program computes the maneuver turns required to point a given spacecraft-fixed vector in the direction of a given inertially-fixed vector. Any two-turn maneuver sequence may be arbitrarily chosen. If it is not possible to accomplish the desired orientation with a two-turn sequence, a three-turn sequence can be specified. The coordinates of an arbitrarily selected inertially-fixed reference vector are computed before and after each turn that is performed. Two program options provide the reference vector coordinates throughout each turn at selected points and the reference vector positions before and after each turn of an arbitrarily prescribed set of maneuver turns.

    Description: Labor costs and techniques associated with the refurbishment of representative TPS and their attach concepts suitable for space shuttle application have been identified on the basis of experimental tests. Ablative and reusable surface insulation TPS configurations were designed, fabricated, and tested on a full-scale mockup. The TPS attachment methods investigated included pi-strap, multiple mechanical fasteners, key/keyway, and direct bond concepts. Techniques for performing installation, inspection, repair and replacement of TPS components were studied by examining a variety of shop procedures. Major problem areas associated with these procedures and the designs to which they were applied were analyzed for several significant parameters such as handling, gaskets between joints, repair techniques, ablator plugs, etc. Results of time and motion studies of specific maintenance tasks, simulating operational procedures, were obtained. Using these data, refurbishment labor cost projections were generated for a representative Space Shuttle orbiter.

    Description: The HL-10 lifting body stability and control derivatives were determined by using an analog-matching technique and compared with derivatives obtained from wind-tunnel results. The flight derivatives were determined as a function of angle of attack for a subsonic configuration at Mach 0.7 and for a transonic configuration at Mach 0.7, 0.9, and 1.2. At an angle of attack of 14 deg, data were obtained for a Mach number range from 0.6 to 1.4. The flight and wind-tunnel derivatives were in general agreement, with the possible exception of the longitudinal and lateral damping derivatives. Some differences were noted between the vehicle dynamic response characteristics calculated from flight-determined derivatives and those predicted by the wind-tunnel results. However, the only difference the pilots noted between the response of the vehicle in flight and the response of a simulator programed with wind-tunnel-predicted data was that the damping generally was higher in the flight vehicle.

    Description: Ground test measurements were made during the launches of Apollo 13 and 14 in an effort to better define the electrical characteristics of a large launch vehicle. Of particular concern was the effective electrical length of the vehicle and plume since this parameter markedly affects the likelihood of a lightning stroke being triggered by a launch during disturbed weather conditions. Since no instrumentation could be carried aboard the launch vehicle, the experiments were confined to LF radio noise and electrostatic-field measurements on the ground in the vicinity of the launch pad. The philosophy of the experiment and the instrumentation and layout are described. From the results of the experiment it is concluded that the rocket and exhaust do not produce large-scale shorting of the earth's field out to distances of thousands of feet from the launch pad. There is evidence, however, that the plume does add substantially to the electrical length of the rocket. On this basis, it was recommended that there be no relaxation of launch rules for launches during disturbed weather.

    Description: The development and demonstration of practical thermal scale modeling techniques applicable to systems involving radiation, conduction, and convection with emphasis on cabin atmosphere/cabin wall thermal interface are discussed. The Apollo spacecraft environment is used as the model. Four possible scaling techniques were considered: (1) modified material preservation, (2) temperature preservation, (3) scaling compromises, and Nusselt number preservation. A thermal mathematical model was developed for use with the Nusselt number preservation technique.

    Description: A limited analytical investigation was conducted to assess the effects of structural elasticity on the landing stability of a version of the Viking Lander. Two landing conditions and two lander mass and inertia distributions were considered. The results of this investigation show that the stability-critical surface slopes were lower for an uphill landing than for a downhill landing. In addition, the heavy footpad mass with its corresponding inertia distribution resulted in lower stability-critical ground slopes than were obtained for the light footpad mass and its corresponding inertia distribution. Structural elasticity was observed to have a large effect on the downhill landing stability of the light footpad mass configuration but had a negligible effect on the stability of the other configuration examined. Because of the limited nature of this study, care must be exercised in drawing conclusions from these results relative to the overall stability characteristics of the Viking Lander.

    Description: An experimental study of the feasibility of monitoring the optical performance of a large telescope by means of a very faint phase hologram imprinted upon the primary mirror is reported. Tests have been made using an f/5 telescope with a 0.3 m aperture. The results indicate that a usable hologram can be so faint and so restricted in area that it will probably not interfere significantly with normal operation of a 3.0 m telescope at wavelengths longer than 100 nm for stars brighter than magnitude 29.

    Description: A research program into three aspects of space satellite dynamics was carried out. First, a four-dimensional space-time formulation of Newtonian mechanics is developed. This theory allows a new physical interpretation of the conservation theorems of mechanics first derived rigorously by Noether. Second, a new concept for estimating the three angles which specify the orientation in space of a rigid body is presented. Two separate methods for implementing this concept are discussed, one based on direction cosines, the other on quaternions. Two examples are discussed: constant orientation in space, and constant rate of change of the three angles with time. Third, two synchronous equatorial orbit communication satellite designs which use sunlight pressure to control their attitude are analyzed. Each design is equipped with large reflecting surfaces, called solar sails, which can be canted in different directions to generate torques to correct pointing errors.

    Description: The research and applications modules (RAM) system is discussed. The RAM is a family of payload carrier modules that can be delivered to and retrieved from earth orbit by the space shuttle. The RAM's capability for implementing a wide range of manned and man-tended missions is described. The rams have evolved into three types; (1) pressurized RAMs, (2) unpressurized RAMs, and (3) pressurizable free-flying RAMs. A reference experiment plan for use as a baseline in the derivation and planning of the RAM project is reported. The plan describes the number and frequency of shuttle flights dedicated to RAM missions and the RAM payloads for the identified flights.

    Description: An empirical method is developed for predicting the modal damping of a combined parallel-stage shuttle model by means of damping measurements performed on the individual substructures. Correlations are first determined for each component in terms of damping energy as a function of peak kinetic energy and modal amplitude. The results are then used to predict component damping energies corresponding to the respective kinetic energies and amplitudes that occur for the new modes of the combined system. Modal characteristics for the system, other than damping, are obtained by a real eigenvalue solution of dynamic equations developed by Hurty's procedure of substructures. System equations, which include component modal damping, are also solved by a complex eigenvalue approach for comparison with results of the empirical method.

    Description: Results are presented of experimental investigation of the controlled and uncontrolled dynamical behavior of a rotating or artificial gravity space station including flexible body effects. A dynamically scaled model was supported by a spherical air bearing which provided a nearly moment free environment. Reaction jet system were provided for spin-up and spin-down and for damping of wobble motion. Two single-gimbal gyros were arranged as a control moment gyro wobble damping system. Remotely controllable movable masses were provided to simulate mass shift disturbances such as arise from crew motions. An active mass balance wobble damping system which acted to minimize the wobble motions induced by crew motions was also installed. Flexible body effects were provided by a pair of inertia augmentation booms. Inertia augmentation booms are contemplated for use on rotating space stations to cause the spin axis moment of inertia to be the largest of the three moments of inertia as is necessary to assure gyroscopic stability. Test runs were made with each of the control systems with the booms locked (rigid body) and unlocked (flexible body).

    Description: This test at the trisonic tunnel was divided into two parts. The first part utilized the H-33 orbiter with drop tanks and cradle mounted on an S-IC booster with 75 square-foot fins oriented 45 deg off the horizontal and vertical reference planes. Runs were initially made to determine the optimum incidence angle to be used for the remainder of the tests. The angle so determined was 0 degrees. Additional testing was performed with drop tanks removed, orbiter vertical tail removed, drop tanks and orbiter wing removed, booster fins removed and booster fins located in the horizontal and vertical reference planes. The second part utilized the H-33 orbiter and cradle only, sting mounted on a strain gage balance. These data were used in conjunction with test number 504 (orbiter alone on balance) to determine cradle effects.

    Description: The increased IMP-I spacecraft spin axis moment resulting from excessive field exposures during environmental testing substantiated the need for a final pre-launch magnetic deperm and measurement. By performing a dc rotation deperm it was possible to reduce this moment below the previous initial test post deperm magnitude. In addition, the magnetic field disturbance at the flight magnetometer diminished to below 0.1 nanotesla (gamma) in all directions.

    Description: An existing data base covering 304 spacecraft of the U.S. space program was analyzed to determine the effect on individual spacecraft failures and other anomalies that the space shuttle might have had if it had been operational throughout the period covered by the data. By combining the results of this analysis, information on the prelaunch activities of selected spacecraft programs, and shuttle capabilities data, the potential impact of the space shuttle on future space programs was derived. The shuttle was found to be highly effective in the prevention or correction of spacecraft anomalies, with 887 of 1,230 anomalies analyzed being favorably impacted by full utilization of shuttle capabilities. The shuttle was also determined to have a far-reaching and favorable influence on the design, development, and test phases of future space programs. This is documented in 37 individual statements of impact.

    Description: The results of the space station data flow study are reported. Conceived is a low cost interactive data dissemination system for space station experiment data that includes facility and personnel requirements and locations, phasing requirements and implementation costs. Each of the experiments identified by the operating schedule is analyzed and the support characteristics identified in order to determine data characteristics. Qualitative and quantitative comparison of candidate concepts resulted in a proposed data system configuration baseline concept that includes a data center which combines the responsibility of reprocessing, archiving, and user services according to the various agencies and their responsibility assignments. The primary source of data is the space station complex which provides through the Tracking Data Relay Satellite System (TDRS) and by space shuttle delivery data from experiments in free flying modules and orbiting shuttles as well as from the experiments in the modular space station itself.

The chemicals consisted of 17 lb of liquid fluorine oxidizer and 13 lb of hydrazine-barium salt fuel mixture. The fuel mixture was 17% barium chloride, 16% barium nitrate, and 67% hydrazine, and contained 2.6 lb of available barium. Two significant problem areas were resolved during the program: explosive valve development and burner operation. The release payload was flight tested, from Wallops Island, Virginia. The release took place at an altitude of approximately 260 km. The release produced a luminous cloud which expanded very rapidly, disappearing to the human eye in about 20 seconds. Barium ion concentration slowly increased over a wide area of sky until measurements were discontinued at sunrise (about 30 minutes).

    Description: Investigations of fatigue life, and safe-life and fail-safe design concepts as applied to space shuttle structure are summarized. The results are evaluated to select recommended structural design criteria to provide assurance that premature failure due to propagation of undetected crack-like defects will not occur during shuttle operational service. The space shuttle booster, GDC configuration B-9U, is selected as the reference vehicle. Structural elements used as basis of detail analyses include wing spar caps, vertical stabilizer skins, crew compartment skin, orbiter support frame, and propellant tank shell structure. Fatigue life analyses of structural elements are performed to define potential problem areas and establish upper limits of operating stresses. Flaw growth analyses are summarized in parametric form over a range of initial flaw types and sizes, operating stresses and service life requirements. Service life of 100 to 500 missions is considered.

    Description: A study was carried out to determine the feasibility of using atmospheric rendezvous to increase the efficiency of space transportation and to determine the most effective implementation. It is concluded that atmospheric rendezvous is feasible and can be utilized in a space transportation system to reduce size of the orbiter vehicle, provide a powered landing with go-around capability for every mission, and achieve lateral range performance that exceeds requirements. A significantly lighter booster and reduced launch fuel requirements are additional benefits that can be realized with a system that includes a large subsonic airplane for recovery of the orbiter. Additional reduction in booster size is possible if the airplane is designed for recovery of the booster by towing. An airplane about the size of the C-5A is required.

    Description: An investigation was made to determine the effects of a safe-life design approach and a fail-safe design approach on the space shuttle booster vehicle structure, and to recommend any changes to the structural design criteria. Two configurations of the booster vehicle were considered, one incorporating a delta wing (B-9U configuration) and the other a swept wing (B-16B configuration). Several major structural components of the booster were studied to determine the fatigue life, safe-life, and fail-safe capabilities of the baseline design. Each component was investigated to determine the practicability of applying a safe-life or fail-safe design philosophy, the changes such design approaches might require, and the impact of these changes on weight, cost, development plans, and performance.

    Description: Proposed manned space shuttle vehicles are expected to land on airport runways. In an emergency situation, however, the vehicle may be required to land on water. A 1/10-scale dynamic model of a winged reentry vehicle was investigated to determine the water landing characteristics. Two configurations of the proposed vehicle were studied. Configuration 1 had a 30 deg negative dihedral of the stabilizer-elevon surface whereas configuration 2 had a 30 deg positive dihedral. Results indicate that the maximum normal accelerations for configurations 1 and 2 when landing in calm water were approximately 8g and 6g, respectively, and the maximum longitudinal accelerations were approximately 5g and 3g, respectively. A small hydroflap was needed to obtain satisfactory calm-water landings with configuration 2, whereas configuration 1 gave good landings without a hydroflap. All landings made in rough water resulted in unsatisfactory motions. For landings made in three different wave sizes, both configurations dived. The maximum normal accelerations for configurations 1 and 2 when landing in waves were -10.1g and -18.7g, respectively, and the maximum longitudinal accelerations for both configurations were approximately 13g.

Through the use of a water soluble resin binder, high quality prepreg tape, three inches wide with 4 tows of HM-S were produced. The tape laminated to 0.00175 inch per ply. A wide range of properties in the cured resin and laminate were found using different curing conditions. The thermal stability and strength of molded laminates appears to be very dependent upon the cure cycle used for polymerization.

    Description: The problems of estimation and control of discrete, linear, time-varying systems are considered. Previous solutions to these problems involved either approximate techniques, open-loop control solutions, or results which required excessive computation. The estimation problem is solved by two different methods, both of which yield the identical algorithm for determining the optimal filter. The partitioned results achieve a substantial reduction in computation time and storage requirements over the expanded solution, however. The results reduce to the Kalman filter when no delays are present in the system. The control problem is also solved by two different methods, both of which yield identical algorithms for determining the optimal control gains. The stochastic control is shown to be identical to the deterministic control, thus extending the separation principle to time delay systems. The results obtained reduce to the familiar optimal control solution when no time delays are present in the system.

    Description: The labor costs and techniques associated with the maintenance of a bonded-on ablator thermal protection system (TPS) concept, suitable for Space Shuttle application are examined. The baseline approach to TPS attachment involves bonding reusable surface insulation (RSI) and/or ablators to the structural skin of the vehicle. The RSI and/or ablators in the form of either flat or contoured panels can be bonded to the skin of the primary structure directly or by way of an intermediate silicone foam rubber pad. The use of foam rubber pads permits the use of buckling skins and protruding heat rivets on the primary structure, minimizing structural weight and fabrication costs. In the case of the RSI, the foam rubber pad serves as a required strain isolator. For purpose of comparison, test data were obtained for an installation with and without the use of a strain isolator. The refurbishment aspects of a bonded-on RSI concept (without a strain isolator) were examined experimentally along with several externally removable panel concepts employing both ablator and RSI TPS. The various concepts are compared.

The range of space program cost savings for three different groups of programs are shown in quantitative terms. The total savings for the 91 programs will range from $13.4 billion to $18.0 billion depending on the degree of hardware standardization. These savings, principally resulting from payload cost reductions, tangibly support the development costs of the shuttle system.

    Description: A wind-tunnel investigation was conducted at Mach numbers of 2.30 and 4.63 to determine the static aerodynamic characteristics of three 60 deg half-angle cone models. Configuration 1 was obtained by raking off a symmetrical cone at a base angle of 6.15 deg, and configuration 2 and 3 were obtained by adding flaps to a symmetrical cone. The models were tested at angles of attack from about -5 deg to about 20 deg at roll angles of 0 deg to -180 deg and at a freestream Reynolds number of 1.09 x one million, based on body diameter. The results showed that all three configurations produced finite values of lift-drag ratio useful for lifting planetary entry. All three configurations exhibited increases in yawing moment and side force with roll angle; thus, the capability for lateral trajectory control is provided.

    Description: The RAM C-3 flight experiment was launched to study the problem of radiofrequency blackout at an entry velocity of 24,300 ft/sec. The flight is described, and data for the entry trajectory and environment, which include the effects of actual temperature measured the day of launch, are presented. An analysis of entry spacecraft motions was performed. This analysis included the determination of wind angles from measured accelerations and estimates of wind angles at high altitudes from gyro-measured rotation rates. The maximum wind angles were found to be less than 5 deg to the point of pitch-roll resonance where the total wind angle increased to 8.5 deg and the roll rate started decreasing. A plausible cause for the decrease in roll rate was shown to be a combination of trim angle and an offset center of gravity.

    Description: The objective of the program is to collect a set of homogeneous and well distributed precise laser and camera satellite observations for the purpose of dynamic and geometric geodesy. The data gathering portion of the experiment extended from December 15, 1970 to August 31, 1971 and consisted of seven three-week saturation tracking periods. The seven geodetic satellites tracked were BE-B, BE-C, GEOS-1, GEOS-2, DI-C, DI-D, and PEOLE. The techniques employed to generate acquisition data for the two lasers are described. Analyses of the quick-look Astrosoviet NAFA-25 camera data indicated that the accuracy of these data was on the order of a few minutes of arc. These data were useful in definitive orbit determination.

    Description: The results are presented that were obtained from a wind tunnel tests to improve space shuttle booster baseline lateral-directional stability, control characteristics, and cruise engine location optimization. Tests were conducted in a 7 x 10-foot transonic wind tunnel. The model employed was a 0.015-scale replica of a space shuttle booster. The three major objectives of this test were to determine the following: (1) force, static stability, and control effectiveness characteristics for varying angles of positive and negative wing dihedral and various combinations of wing tip and centerline dorsal fins; (2) force and static stability characteristics of cruise engines location on the body below the high aerodynamic canard; and (3) control effectiveness for the low-mounted wing configuration. The wing dihedral study was conducted at a cruise Mach number of 0.40 and simulated altitude of 10,000 feet. Portions of the test were conducted to determine the control surfaces stability and control characteristics over the Mach number range of 0.4 to 1.2. The aerodynamic characteristics determined are based on a unit Reynolds number of approximately 2 million per foot. Boundary layer trip strips were employed to induce boundary layer transition.

    Description: An experimental study has been conducted to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a proposed recoverable space shuttle booster vehicle. Tests were made at Mach numbers of 0.7, 1.5, and 3.5 of two configurations, one with tail panels deflected 90 deg and one with tail panels deflected 70 deg. Both configurations were found to be highly statically stable at all Mach numbers. The dynamic behavior was erratic; the models exhibited both neutral dynamic stability and dynamic instability, and the motions experienced during free flight at the subsonic Mach number were very irregular. The flow field over the models was characterized by an extensive separated flow region which largely encompassed the tail panels. The experimental drag and static stability were not well predicted by available theoretical estimates.

    Description: The feasibility and application of a solid propulsion powered spacecraft concept to implement high energy missions independent of multiplanetary swingby opportunities are assessed and recommendations offered for future work. An upper stage, solid propulsion launch vehicle augmentation system was selected as the baseline configuration in view of the established program goals of low cost and high reliability. Spacecraft and propulsion system data that characterize mission performance capabilities were generated to serve as the basis for subsequent tradeoff studies. A cost effectiveness model was used for the preliminary feasibility assessment to provide a meaningful comparative effectiveness measure of the various candidate designs. The results substantiated the feasibility of the powered spacecraft concept when used in conjunction with several intermediate-sized launch vehicles as well as the existence of energy margins by which to exploit the attainment of extended mission capabilities. Additionally, in growth option applications, the employment of advanced propulsion systems and alternate spacecraft approaches appear promising.

    Description: The self-contamination of spacecraft (defined as the return and deposition of outgassed molecules on its critical surfaces, either in orbit or while undergoing vacuum) is considered. Theoretical relations for the flux, density, and pressure of the emitted gas as a function of altitude, radius, and distance from the spacecraft surface are developed. The flux of the outgassed molecules that return to the emitting surface is also obtained and shown to be dependent on altitude, spacecraft dimensions, and the magnitude of outgassing. The rate of condensation and the time for the formation of a monolayer of the returning molecules can be calculated. The self-contamination of spacecraft undergoing vacuum chamber test is also theoretically examined and compared with the equivalent parameters for orbit conditions. It is concluded that, depending on the dimensions of the spacecraft relative to those of the chamber and the wall capture coefficient, ground tests conducted in the more usual space simulation chambers can provide returning fluxes and self-contamination comparable to those occurring in space up to an altitude of about 400 km. For higher altitudes and return fluxes less than 0.001 of those emitted, the chamber test can produce a greater contamination. In this case, the ground results can be related to those obtained in space, provided that the wall capture coefficient is known or if the ratio of returned to emitted flux at the spacecraft surface is measured.

    Description: A scheme based on starting the logic networks from the development and mission factors that are of primary concern in an aerospace system is described. This approach required identifying the primary states (design, design verification, premission, mission, postmission), identifying the attributes within each state (performance capability, survival, evaluation, operation, etc), and then developing the generic relationships of variables for each branch. To illustrate this concept, a system was used that involved a launch vehicle and payload for an earth orbit mission. Examination showed that this example was sufficient to illustrate the concept. A more complicated mission would follow the same basic approach, but would have more extensive sets of generic trees and more correlation points between branches. It has been shown that in each system state (production, test, and use), a logic could be developed to order and classify the parameters involved in the translation from general requirements to specific requirements for system elements.

    Description: The feasibility and practicality of employing an aerobraking trajectory for return of the reusable space tug from geosynchronous orbit was investigated. The aerobraking return trajectory modes employ transfer ellipses from high orbits which have low perigee altitudes wherein the earth's sensible atmosphere provides drag to reduce the tug return delta velocity requirements and thus decrease the required return trip propulsive energy. Aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, trajectories, guidance and control, configuration concepts, materials, weights and performance were considered. Sensitivities to trajectory uncertainties, atmospheric anomalies and reentry environments were determined. New technology requirements and future studies required to further enhance the aerobraking potential were identified.

    Description: The flux of molecules emitted by a spacecraft and subsequently reflected to its surface was investigated. The reflection occurs upon collision of the outgassed molecules with ambient molecules. Evaluation of the flux was based on a knowledge of the spacecraft outgassing rate, the spacecraft dimensions, and the orbit parameters. Condensation rates and adsorption layers on critical surfaces were calculated from the knowledge of this flux and the nature and temperature of the gas and the surface. Based on estimated and measured emission rates, calculation of these parameters was performed for a number of spacecraft. The relationships and graphs developed allow an estimate of several important parameters for an orbiting spacecraft to be made. The pressures and densities at various distances from the spacecraft, as produced by the surrounding ambient molecules and by the spacecraft's own outgassing, are presented. The pressure and density produced by the outgassing can be obtained as a function of time if the behavior of the outgassing with time is known. The number of desorbed molecules ionized by impact with ambient charged particles and the effect of the spacecraft's electric field on polarized desorbed molecules were considered.

    Description: Two 0.00325-scale models of a space shuttle orbiter were tested in trisonic wind tunnel to obtain force, static stability, and control effectiveness data by six component internal strain gauge balance. Two separate configurations were tested; however, the fuselage and basic wing were of one-piece construction. The configurations were varied by replacing the straight wing tip extensions with upswept wing tips. Directional stability was provided for one configuration by a centerline vertical tail. Due to the one-piece body/wing construction, no body-alone data were obtained. The effect of tip fins and vertical tail size were, however, investigated. Both configurations were tested over a Mach range of 0.6 to 4.96 with data taken at angles of attack from minus 4 deg to 60 deg and at angles of sideslip from minus 4 deg to 10 deg.

    Description: The longitudinal, directional, and lateral static stability and control characteristics of a delta lifting body and a delta-wing body were obtained at a Mach number of 20 in helium for operational Reynolds numbers over an angle-of-attack range of -4 deg to 55 deg. The aerodynamic characteristics of the wing body were then evaluated in an entry study to examine the effects of vehicle performance on the aerothermodynamic parameters associated with constant and variable angle-of-attack modes for a 1500-n. mi. cross range. The experimental results indicated that the vehicles were stable, except for neutral directional stability for the wing-body shape, and could be trimmed over the operational angle-of-attack range; however, the wing-body vehicle had adverse yaw due to roll control. This roll-yaw coupling was not examined for the lifting body. The trajectory analysis indicated that a 17-percent decrease in performance required little change in the constant angle-of-attack entry mode and, in turn, resulted in a small decrease in the total heat load. For the pitch-modulated entry, the performance decrease required the pitch maneuver to begin earlier during entry and to last longer in order to meet the 1500-n. mi. cross range without a major heating penalty. The performance reduction also had little effect on the maximum laminar radiation equilibrium temperature over a major portion of the lower surface of the wing-body vehicle regardless of the entry mode.

A detailed parametric analysis of each of the thermal/humidity control and CO2 control/O2 supply subsystem concepts which passed the go/no go evaluation is described. Based upon the results of the parametric analyses, primary and secondary evaluations of the remaining candidate concepts were conducted. These results and the subsystem recommendations emanating from these results are discussed. In addition, the parametric analyses of the recommended subsystem concepts were updated to reflect the final AEPS specification requirements.

Specifications are given, and the methodology is described. Subsystem studies and systems integration efforts are summarized. Among the conclusions are the following: (1) For long duration missions, a configuration incorporating a regenerable CO2 control subsystem and a thermal control subsystem utilizing a minimum of expendables decreases the vehicle penalty of present configurations. (2) For shorter duration missions, a configuration incorporating an expendable water thermal control subsystem is the most competitive subsystem; regenerable CO2 control subsystems if properly developed are competitive with nonregenerable counterparts. (3) The CO2 reduction and oxygen reclamation withing the parent vehicle is only competitive when there are three or more parent vehicle resupply periods. (4) For long duration emergency systems of one hour or more, inherent redundancy within the primary configuration to provide emergency thermal control is the most competitive approach.
