The figure on page 4 shows the family of vehicles drawn to the same scale. Two graphs (pages 5 and 6) illustrate and compare the performance of these vehicles. The first shows vehicle payload capability as a function of circular orbit altitude. The second is a plot of vehicle payload versus "Characteristic Velocity". Throughout this document "payload" is defined as all weight above the last stage of the vehicle excluding the fairing, but including any spacecraft adapters that are required. The characteristic velocity requirements for planetary missions are shown on page 7. The planetary payloads for the vehicles can be determined by using the data on page 6 in conjunction with that on page 7. The vehicle launch pads at the Eastern Test Range (ETR) and the Western Test Range (WTR) are shown on pages 48 and 49, respectively. For each vehicle, there is a brief description, an outboard profile with dimensions, stage characteristics and engine data, and a graph of the vehicle payload capability. The manufacturers of the various vehicles, engines and guidance systems are also given. Values of thrust and specific impulse are given at vacuum conditions for all stages and, where appropriate, sea level values are given. The metric measurement system is used throughout this document. to the English system of units are provided for all data. Conversion factors

SCOUT

Scout is a four-stage solid propellant launch vehicle. The guidance and control system employs a digital programmer and three-axis stabilization for all stages except the spinstabilized fourth stage. The Scout is a relatively inexpensive vehicle that can launch small payloads on a wide variety of missions, such as atmospheric and space probes, highspeed reentry experiments and small satellites. DOD has used Scout to orbit the Transit navigation satellite. NASA Scout launch sites have been established and used at Wallops Island and the Western Test Range. Italy has established and used a launch site, the San Marco Range, off the coast at Malindi, Kenya, Africa.

DELTA
The Delta launch vehicle was developed to satisfy the intermediate spacecraft requirements for both NASA and private industry. Typical missions in Delta's history are Pioneer, Tiros, Syncom, Comsat, Anchored IMP, GEOS, RAE and others. The Delta is presently operational with 2 and 3 stage configurations and a multi-burn second stage capability. The booster stage is an elongated Thor with 3, 6, or 9 Castor II solid stra_on motors. The second stage is the Delta stage which has a restart capability. Third stages include the Thiokol TE-364-3 and -4 spherical, solid motors with spin stabilization. First and second stage guidance is accomplished by an inertial guidance system mounted in the second stage. Beginning with Delta flight number 103 (SMS-A Mission, December, 1973) the current AJ10118F Delta second stage engine will be replaced by the Lunar Module Descent Engine (LMDE). The Delta LMDE will have a thrust a specific impulse of 43,800 N. and of 2970 N-Sec/Kg.

The Atlas/Agena is a two and one-half stage space launch vehicle. The Atlas was initially developed for the Air Force as the SLV-3 and has been successively improved into the SLV-3A. Both DOD and NASA have used the SLV-3 and 3A while NASA has also used the closely associated SLV-3D model with the Centaur stage. The Agena upper stage has a multistart capability and, thus, can provide the energy management needed to perform a variety of missions.

ATLAS/CENTAUR
Atlas/Centaur is a two and one-half stage vehicle which uses liquid oxygen and kerosene as propellants in the Atlas booster and liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen in the Centaur upper stage. The Atlas (SLV-3D) is an improved version of the early Atlas vehicles. The Atlas/Centaur is intended as a booster for high energy missions, particularly lunar, planetary and synchronous orbits. It is capable of either a direct ascent (one-burn of the Centaur stage) or a parking orbit (two-burn) flight path. The guidance system uses an inertial reference and a digital computer which provides orientation and steering signals to both stages. Atlas/Centaur and domestic is used by NASA, DOD, users. A launch complex in-

cluding two pads and logistic support, has been established at the Eastern Test Range. The first operational Centaur launched the Surveyor spacecraft to the moon on May 30, 1966. Since that time, the Atlas/Centaur has successfully launched lunar Surveyor spacecraft, orbiting astronomical observatories, Mariner Mars planetary spacecraft, applied technology synchronous satellites, and communications synchronous satellites.

IIIB/AGENA
The Titan IIIB/Agena is a three-stage liquid-fuel vehicle developed to provide a standard launch capability in the medium-weight payload range. It consists of the two liquid-propellant core stages of the Titan III modified to accept the Agena. An adapter joins the Agena to the Titan's Stage II forward skirt. One version of this vehicle is equipped with radio guidance, and another version is equipped with inertial guidance. The Titan IIIB/Agena is used to launch several types of military payloads from WTR.

IIIC
Titan IIIC is a four-stage solidand liquid-propellant launch vehicle. The central core of the Titan IIIC is composed of two liquid stages. Two 0.305 meter (120-inch) diameter, 5-segment, solid propellant are added as a "'0 stage". motors

The final or fourth stage, called the transtage, contains an inertial guidance system and attitude control system. The transtage has a multi-start capability and provides the propulsive maneuvers for achieving a variety of circular and elliptical orbits. The Titan I IIC can orbit multiple payloads to the same or different orbits on a single launch. Eight payloads have been launched simultaneously.

IIID
Titan IIID is a three-stage solid-

and liquid-propellant launch vehicle. It is essentially a Titan IIIC launch vehicle with the upper stage (transtage) removed. The vehicle design mission is a low-altitude orbit launch from ETR and WTR. For WTR missions, the vehicle currently uses a radio guidance system. For ETR missions the only guidance system currently available is an autopilot. The Core II does not have a restart capability and, consequently, the vehicle cannot perform Hohmann transfers.

The Titan IIIE/Centaur will provide a high-energy capability for planetary missions. The Helios solar probe and Viking Mars lander missions, scheduled for the 1974-1975 time period will be the first missions to fly on this vehicle. The Titan IIIE is basically a Titan IIID modified to accept the Centaur upper stage. The Titan IIIE consists of the twostage Titan core with two 3.05 meter (120oinch) diameter, 5-segment solid propellant motors added as a "0 stage". The Centaur is a high-performance stage using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants. The Centaur is restartable and it has an inertial guidance system that provides guidance for itself and the Titan IIIE.

SATURN

V
Saturn Apollo V was developed for the Program and has three liquid

propellant stages. The first stage (S-IC) is powered by five F-1 engines and burns liquid oxygen and kerosene. The second stage (S-II) is propelled by five J-2 engines and burns liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The third stage (S-IVB) is propelled by a single J-2 engine and burns liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The S-IVB stage has multiple burn capability. An instrument unit mounted on top of the S-IVB stage provides inertial navigation, guidance and flight control for all three stages. A two-stage Saturn V configuration is to place the first U.S. manned scientific space station, Skylab I, with a mass of about 77,200 kilograms (170,000 Ib mass) into a 435 kilometer (235 nautical mile) earth orbit.
