Rockets Module 431 Initial Reusable Design Expected to fly weekly – 52 flights/year High Development costs required a more conservative design

Rockets Module 432 The Compromise Solid Fuel Boosters Expendable tank Four flight vehicles No ‘escape system’.

Rockets Module 433 First Flight Use of Solid Fuel limits safety factor at launch Can’t shut down solids once ignited

Rockets Module 434 Final Costs Flying only 8 Shuttles per year Each flight costs $500,000,000 (Half a billion dollars) High cost caused by few flights divided by extensive maintenance and launch expenses
