mcsun!ukc!reading!cf-cm!cybaswan!iiitsh@uunet.uu.net (Steve Hosgood) Subject: Shuttle to HEO or the Moon (was Re: Saturn V & F-1) >>>Of course, the main competition to the S5 would be the shuttle-C. The main >>>engines for the shuttle-C are flying today. By your own argument, it must >>>be cheaper to build shuttle-C using existing components than to reconstruct >>>the Saturn V from rusting originals. >> Wasn't there some plan to allow the shuttle to carry a fuel tank in the cargo bay? This was, as I remember, being talked-about before the shuttle flew, but I've heard no mention since. If this could be done, wouldn't the system equal the much-vaunted Saturn V's performance? After all the shuttle's power-to-weight ratio is better than the S5 at launch, surely the difference is the lack of a 3rd stage? Oh, yes - you'd have to add an ignitor system to the main-engines, otherwise it's all going to be a bit pointless..... -----------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Steve Hosgood BSc, | Phone (+44) 792 295213 Image Processing and Systems Engineer, | Fax (+44) 792 295532 Institute for Industrial Information Techology,| Telex 48149 Innovation Centre, University of Wales, | JANET: iiitsh@uk.ac.swan.pyr Swansea SA2 8PP | UUCP: ..!ukc!cybaswan!iiitsh -----------------------------------------------+------------------------------ My views are not necessarily those of my employers!
