| Description | This slide presentation details the concept of an External Payload Carrier (XPC), that can fly on ann unused Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) location on the Atlas V rocket to suborbital environment. The XPC can be used anytime there is sufficient excess lift capability available. The dimensions and possible uses of the XPC are reviewed. The completed Phase 1 study reviewed 57 variations, and arrived at three viable configurations, identified design baselines, subsystems and preliminary testing requirements. Phase II effort is planned to produce the preliminary design (i.e., PDR level), Systems Requirements Document (SRD), identify flight candidates, develop schedule and funding profiles, and identify the risk-reduction activities. |
