ISS Modules without Shuttle?
What would be necessary to launch the remaining ISS modules - Node 2,
Centrifuge, Kibo, Columbus - without the Shuttle? Obviously any new Russian modules will go up on Proton, but I am assuming that would not be feasible for Shuttle-manifested launches due to politics. What would be required to launch them on EELVs? Is there a third stage that could deliver and dock the modules, or co-orbit for docking by the SSRMS? Could the European ATV be used for this purpose? I'm wondering what are the issues involved, because Shuttle RTF keeps slipping and in the recent hearings know one mentioned any other ways of achieving station complete. Is "station complete" still a realistic goal? thanks, J05H |
