Spinning solid perigee stageIf the Space Transportation System is to serve in the 1980's for launching geostationary satellites that presently use the Delta and Centaur boosters, the cost of STS launches must be competitive. This can be accomplished through the provision of a multiple-launch capability in the orbiter, combined with the design of a low cost, spinning solid perigee kick motor (PKM). The PKM will be attached to the spacecraft and function essentially as the Delta third stage does today.
