In addi tion to effort conducted in response to the NASA/MSFC Contract NAS8-32475, Exhibit C, dated March 28, 1978, company sponsored effort on a Horizontal Take-Off, Single-Stage-to-Orbit concept is included. The SPS final report will provide the NASA with additional information on the selection of a viable SPS concept and will furnish a basis for subsequent technology advancement and veri fication activities. Other volumes of the final report are listed as followst Volume Title I Executive Summary II Systems Engineering III Experimentation/Verification Element Definition V Special Emphasis Studies VI In-Depth Element Investigations VII Systems/Subsystems Requirements Data Book The SPS Program Manager, G. M. Hanley, may be contacted on any of the technical or management aspects of this report.
