SUBJECT: IG(Space) Meeting - February 5, 1986 (U)
As a result of the Shuttle tragedy of January 27, 1986, it is
necessary to review the availability of capabilities and resources
to ensure continuity of the U.S. space launch program. There are
several options, or combinations of options, available that support
continuity.
Option 1: Buy more Shuttles. This could cost in excess of
$2B a copy and may not make a vehicle available until 1991, at
the earliest. This assumes an accelerated program with unlimited
funding, and widespread Congressional support.

Option 2: Accelerate the national aerospace plane. This
too would require unlimited funding, maximum Congressional support,
and crash efforts by industry. Even with these efforts, it is not
certain that it could be made operational any earlier than present
program schedules allow.
Option 3: Buy more Titan 34Ds. At the present rate of pur-
chase, the earliest availability is expected in 1988. Accelerated
purchase of Titan 34D vehicles and in larger quantities could assure
the launch of larger payloads. Exact numbers of vehicles required
and their costs are not known.
Option 4: Use more Titan IIs. Present Congressional direction
only allows consideration for use of 13 existing Titan IIs. Since
there are considerably more of these vehicles available than 13, and
their use is the subject of a difference of opinion, a reconciliation
and a validation of the requirement for their use is necessary.
Like the option to buy more Titan 34Ds, a close examination of all
costs associated with Titan II use and conversion for space launch
use is also necessary.
0?tion 5: Buy more Atlas/Centaur. The Atlas/Centaur produc-
tion line is currently open and vehicles are being produced at a
specified rate. Additional funds could be justified to buy more
vehicles to launch necessary payloads. However, the Atlas/Centaur
is a small missile and is only useful for certain payloads. There-
fore, a detailed mission model, a program funding profile and a
commitment from all who wish to launch payloads must be sought.
Option 6: Use civil and commercial launch vehicles. This
is a prime opportunity for foreign and domestic commercial missile
production companies and entrepreneurs to consider filling the
breach created by the loss of a Shuttle. This requires establish-
ment of a close working relationship between government and industry
to consider making launch ranges available, expedite government
licensing and federally subsidize insurance programs to assure
commercial systems availability. (C)
The thoughts in these options are not complete nor have all complex
facets of bringing any one or a combination of them to fruition been
explored. In addition, there may be options that have not been
mentioned but deserve evaluation. The members of the IG(Space) are
therefore requested to attend the meeting prepared to discuss these
options and any others you deem appropriate. Once discussion is
complete it is the tentative plan to designate selected members of
the IG(Space) to write a "White Paper" on maintaining the continuity
of the U.S. space launch program. The paper will then be used to
develop a new space strategy and policy statement. (C)
