The first two PDF files are not about heavy lift launchers. The first
is a monograph about the history of NASA KSC up to July 1, 1962 (I
know, it wasn't KSC yet). The second PDF is a 1964 study about the all
up testing concept for the Saturn V.
The remainder of the PDF files are about Nova and other heavy lift
concepts.

Saturn V SA-513 (Skylab-1) was launched at 13:30:00 Eastern Daylight
Time (EDT) on
May 14, 1973, from Kennedy Space Center, Complex 39, Pad A. The vehicle
lifted off
on a launch azimuth of 90 degrees east of north and rolled to a flight
azimuth of
40.88 degrees east of north. The launch vehicle successfully placed the
Saturn Work
Shop in the planned earth orbit. All launch vehicle objectives were
accomplished. No
launch vehicle failures or anomalies occurred that seriously affected
the mission.

Sections 10 to 13 of the Advanced Transportation System Studies final
report are included in this volume. Section 10 contains a copy of an
executive summary that was prepared by Lockheed Space Operations
Company (LSOC) to document their support to the TA-2 contract during
the first-year period of performance of the contract, May 1992 through
May 1993. LSOC participated on the TA-2 contract as part of the
concurrent engineering launch system definition team, and provided
outstanding heavy lift launch vehicle (HLLV) ground operations
requirements and concept assessments for Lockheed Missiles and Space
Company (LMSC) through an intercompany work transfer as well as
providing specific HLLV ground operations assessments at the direction
of NASA KSC through KSC funding that was routed to the TA-2 contract.
Section 11 contains a copy of a vehicle-independent, launch system
health management requirements assessment. The purpose of the
assessment was to define both health management requirements and the
associated interfaces between a generic advanced
transportation system launch vehicle and all related elements of the
entire
transportation system, including the ground segment. Section 12
presents the major
TA-2 presentations provided to summarize the significant results and
conclusions
that were developed over the course of the contract. Finally, Section
13 presents
the design and assessment report on the first lunar outpost heavy lift
launch
vehicle.

The purpose of the TA-2 contract was to provide advanced launch vehicle
concept
definition and analysis to assist NASA in the identification of future
launch
vehicle requirements. Contracted analysis activities included vehicle
sizing and
performance analysis, subsystem concept definition, propulsion
subsystem definition
(foreign and domestic), ground operations and facilities analysis, and
life cycle
cost estimation. The basic period of performance of the TA-2 contract
was from May
1992 through May 1993. No-cost extensions were exercised on the
contract from June
1993 through July 1995. This document is part of the final report for
the TA-2
contract. The final report consists of three volumes: Volume 1 is the
Executive
Summary, Volume 2 is Technical Results, and Volume 3 is Program Cost
Estimates. The
document-at-hand, Volume 3, provides a work breakdown structure
dictionary, user's

by ECON, Inc., under subcontract to Lockheed Martin on TA-2 for the
analysis of
heavy lift launch vehicle concepts.

Saturn V SA-513 (Skylab-1) was launched at 13:30:00 Eastern Daylight
Time (EDT) on
May 14, 1973, from Kennedy Space Center, Complex 39, Pad A. The vehicle
lifted off
on a launch azimuth of 90 degrees east of north and rolled to a flight
azimuth of
40.88 degrees east of north. The launch vehicle successfully placed the
Saturn Work
Shop in the planned earth orbit. All launch vehicle objectives were
accomplished. No
launch vehicle failures or anomalies occurred that seriously affected
the mission.

assembly, logistics.
and resupply is explored. Potential HLLVs, including those based on the
Titan, and
Shuttle-derived vehicles (SDV), are discussed. The baseline Critical

Sections 10 to 13 of the Advanced Transportation System Studies final
report are included in this volume. Section 10 contains a copy of an
executive summary that was prepared by Lockheed Space Operations
Company (LSOC) to document their support to the TA-2 contract during
the first-year period of performance of the contract, May 1992 through
May 1993. LSOC participated on the TA-2 contract as part of the
concurrent engineering launch system definition team, and provided
outstanding heavy lift launch vehicle (HLLV) ground operations
requirements and concept assessments for Lockheed Missiles and Space
Company (LMSC) through an intercompany work transfer as well as
providing specific HLLV ground operations assessments at the direction
of NASA KSC through KSC funding that was routed to the TA-2 contract.
Section 11 contains a copy of a vehicle-independent, launch system
health management requirements assessment. The purpose of the
assessment was to define both health management requirements and the
associated interfaces between a generic advanced
transportation system launch vehicle and all related elements of the
entire
transportation system, including the ground segment. Section 12
presents the major
TA-2 presentations provided to summarize the significant results and
conclusions
that were developed over the course of the contract. Finally, Section
13 presents
the design and assessment report on the first lunar outpost heavy lift
launch
vehicle.

The purpose of the TA-2 contract was to provide advanced launch vehicle
concept
definition and analysis to assist NASA in the identification of future
launch
vehicle requirements. Contracted analysis activities included vehicle
sizing and
performance analysis, subsystem concept definition, propulsion
subsystem definition
(foreign and domestic), ground operations and facilities analysis, and
life cycle
cost estimation. The basic period of performance of the TA-2 contract
was from May
1992 through May 1993. No-cost extensions were exercised on the
contract from June
1993 through July 1995. This document is part of the final report for
the TA-2
contract. The final report consists of three volumes: Volume 1 is the
Executive
Summary, Volume 2 is Technical Results, and Volume 3 is Program Cost
Estimates. The
document-at-hand, Volume 3, provides a work breakdown structure
dictionary, user's
guide for the parametric life cycle cost estimation tool, and final
report developed
by ECON, Inc., under subcontract to Lockheed Martin on TA-2 for the
analysis of
heavy lift launch vehicle concepts.
