Hughes designed geosynchronous satellite optimised to study mesoscale phenomena such as tornados, squall lines and large convective systems. Had the satellite been built, the launch vehicle would have either been a Delta rocket or the Space Shuttle. Severe Storms Observing Satellite...

1971 design for a Jupiter Entry Probe designed to sample the atmosphere of Jupiter down to a level equivalent to 17 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth. The proposed carrier vehicles were, TOPS, which would had the medium gain antenna from the baseline design replaced with one that could...

I've seen references to Jupiter drop probes dating back to the mid 1960's, but this upper atmosphere probe dating from the early 1970's is the earliest detailed design I know of, to quote the abstract: 1. The Jovian turbopause probe. Part 1 - The scientific requirements for the Jovian...

Advanced Skylab. A great occasion lost. :'( A large space station for the Shuttle, straightway.

After the cancellation of Voyager(Mars) in 1967 NASA started up a new series of studies to come up with a spacecraft for the 1973 launch opportunity. This Martin-Marietta designed soft-lander of 1969 was intended to put the maximum payload weight on the surface of Mars using a mission profile...
