Orbital transportation in the 1980's and beyondOrbital transportation beyond the low earth orbit operating regime of the Space Shuttle will be required for the 1980's and beyond. The characteristics and first order requirements of the mission arenas are discussed in context with a broad spectrum of future space transportation systems. Several concepts are highlighted and identify the distinctly different requirements imposed by manned vehicles versus unmanned vehicles. Considerable analytic and design activities are necessary prior to selection of orbital transportation systems to be developed after the Interim Upper Stage (IUS).
