508.0. "Advanced Manned Launch System?" by MPGS::EMMONS () Tue Feb 28 1989 20:40

    
    
    
    	In a recent article in the March issue of Scientific 
    	American, a quick reference is made about a new
    	manned spacecraft for NASA called the Advanced 
    	Manned Launch System which is currently under study.
    	The spacecraft is described as a fully reuseable
    	vehicle for carrying 6+ people into space  and
    	would be used along-side the Shuttle and the space
    	plane, however no other details were provided.  
    	Can someone fill me in on any other details? 
    
    	Thanks, Ken
    
    	BTW. The article is entitled 'Access to Space' and 
    	describes ours - as well as other nations - current
    	access to space and problems expected to arise over 
    	the next twenty years.  Good reading!
