| Description | The development is described of an interface, the Titan Payload Adapter (TPA), between a Space Transportation System (STS) deployable payload and an expendable launch vehicle (ELV). Separate ascent and separation constraint systems allow a payload with integral trunnions to retain its originally designed, boost-phase load structure, yet also allow the expendable booster vehicle to separate from the payload via retro-rockets. Design requirements as well as development problems and their solutions are discussed. |
