BOOST GLIDE WEAPON SYSTEM APPLICATION STUDY. VOLUME III

Abstract

This class of vehicles includes those which remain in orbit for a day or longer and the vehicles that might be used to re-supply orbiting vehicles with relief crews, food and other expendables. Since the vehicles proposed are those which might be made operational in the 1965 - 1970 time period, they are limited to those which can be assembled on the earth and propelled into space as a unit. It is believed that it will become feasible to send up re-supply vehicles to satellites; but, the assembly of large satellites in space will be only in the exploratory state in this time period. Prior to proof of the feasibility of mating satellites to proof of the feasibility of mating satellite sna resuply vehicles in space, there will be applications for manned satellite vehicles. Vehicles with satellite periods of 14 days and one month have been configured.
