PREFACE

This final report presents the results of a 1-year study conducted between
October 17, 1966, and October 17, 1967, for Headquarters, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Advanced Research and
Technology. Work was accomplished under Contract NAS7-525, which was
released under the NASA OART Space Vehicle Structures Program, and is
based on Boeing-sponsored research in cost effective design.

The study was performed by The Boeing Company, Space Division, Advanced
Spacecraft Systems organization. E. F. Styer supervised the program.
Bruce Allesina, the principal investigator, was assisted by George E.
Woodhead, who was responsible for weights analysis and cost technology.
Technical participants were D. W. French, J. S. Guarre, J. C. McGinnis,
S. L. Rieb, and L. M. Benson.

The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of M. T. Braun, C. P.
Martin, and P. L. Peoples, all of Boeing.
