Environmental Control Systems Selection for Manned Space Vehicles. Volume II: Appendix I, Missions, Vehicles, and Equipment

Abstract

Four versions of manned orbital reentry basepoint vehicles are developed for the purpose of providing reference points for determination of the thermal and atmospheric control requirements of realistic vehicles. Two of the vehicles (i.e., Vehicles 1A and 1B) were developed in Phase I of this study series and will only be summarized here. The remaining two vehicles (Ballistic Reentry and Lenticular Reentry) are presented in greater detail. In addition to the development of specific vehicles, general data have been compiled on the more important aspects of manned space vehicle design, (i.e., flight vehicle power, structures, effects of meteoroids, mission equipment, and examination of these general data for environmental requirements.)
