SATURNSaturn
and
Apollo bardware
will
not have realized their ultimate potentialfor space exploration after the project lunar
land in^
is complete.
To
ac-complish the Apollo lunar landing brogram,an immense hackloq of technalo~,facilities, and boostkr capability
swill
have been built up, and we believeproper utilization
of
this resource
will
fill the
needs
for
~lanetary, unar,and earth orbital space exploration for gears to cpme. In ~chieving he
Apollo
lunar
objective, laree investments
will
have been m~de
n
launchF~cilities rackine systems, propulsion technolopy
,
e-entry systems,
lunar
landing systems,
and
rendezvous technolow, to name only
a
few, Mthouphthese specialized areas have been pointed toward the lunar exploration
mis-
sion, numerous studies by
NASA
and industry have demonstrated the feasibilityof using the spacecraft, vehicles,
and
operating techniques for rnfssionsfarbeyond the lunar
land in^.
In this paper,
I
will
discuss some of' theseSaturn/Apollo missions which
lie
beyond the Apol2.o lunar
land in^
nroaram.
By
identifying these advanced uses of Saturn/~pollo ard~are o meet importantnational goals, we can amortize the large cost of the Saturn/A~6llo rocram
across
n
much wider spectrum of missions.Saturn, the vehicle designed for one mission,
will
meet the needsof the
country
in space exploration for
many
years to come. Since both the Saturn
IB
and
S~turn versions were designed for manned anpS.ication fron
the
outset,we can expect the continuation of theoutfltanding reliability record alrea4v
begun
by the Saturn
I
vehicle.
By
using Saturn over
the
widest'base of
mis-
sions, cost per unit
will
decrease md the nation's investment in the future
will
pay. rich dividends in tiew kncrvledce, prestige,
and
world leadershin.Saturn has
a
future in
space.
