The Saturn Multibody designation system is composed of a letter followed by two numbers. The letter says whether the vehicle is Medium or Heavy, that is whether it has one or three Saturn Multibody cores. The first number can have the values 0, 2, or 4, and describes the number of solid rocket boosters attached. The second number can have the values 2 or 3 and indicates whether the upper stage is the S-IVB (2) or the S-IVC (3). The S-IVC is only used on the M43 or H03 versions of the vehicle, since it is too heavy to offer much of a performance benefit to the smaller variants. | The Saturn Multibody designation system is composed of a letter followed by two numbers.

+ | |||
+ | Introduced in 2000, the Europa 5 family was a major overhaul of the available European launch vehicles. The venerable Blue Streak, with its history and production techniques stretching back to 1954, was to be eliminated along with the larger Griffin. Instead, a new core, intermediate between Griffin and Blue Streak was to be introduced, powered by a new Rolls-Royce staged-combustion kerolox engine developed based on Russian engine technology. The Aurore upper stage saw a similar overhaul, with the HM-7B engine seeing upgrades and updates to its production methods, increasing its specific impulse and thrust while reducing part count and assembly time. With a simplified production chain, the Europa 5 was intended to not only cover a wider range of performance, | ||

American-led space station program started in the wake of the Vulkan panic by President Reagan. Building on the experience gained from Spacelab and the capabilities of the Multibody rocket family, Freedom is much larger and more capable than the previous station, having been designed from the ground up to serve as a research outpost in space. It also includes significant material contributions from Europe, Japan, and Canada, making it a more international station than Spacelab. | American-led space station program started in the wake of the Vulkan panic by President Reagan.
