FINAL REPORT FOR COST STUDIES OF MULTIPURPOSE LARGE LAUNCH VEHICLES BASELINE MLLV COSTS BOOK A OF VOLUMEⅤ

摘要

Nine volumes including this volume present the final report documentation outlining the accomplishments for the "Cost Studies of the Multipurpose Large Launch Vehicles" (MLLV), NASA/OART Contract NAS2-5056. This MLLV cost volume presents the detailed costs for implementation and operation of the elements of the Multipurpose Large Launch Vehicle family.nThe MLLV family will consist of a single-stage-to-orbit configuration plus other configurations consisting of a main stage (as used for the single-stage-to-orbit configuration) with various quantities of 260 inch diameter solid rocket motor (SRM) strap-on stages and/or injection stage modules. The main stage will employ LOX/LH2 propellant with either a multichamber/plug or toroidal/ aerospike engine system. The single-stage-to-orbit configuration will have a payload capability of approximately 500,000 pounds to a 100 nautical mile earth orbit. With the addition of the strap-on SRM stages and/or LOX/LH2 injection stage modules, this payload capability can be increased incrementally to as much as 1,850,000 pounds.
