This paper will discuss selected methods for increasing the Saturn launch vehicle payload capabilities. These methods involve system changes or additions that give large step performance'increases aver those which can be obtained by product improvements. The selected philosophy of approach and the established designed systems wil1,be described, as well as anticipatedsystem concepts that may be used to increase the Saturn vehicles' capabilities.
This paper desciibes an evolutionary family concept of !h turn V derivative launch vehicle systems, discusses their performance capabilities, and outlines their ability to perform orbital and hlgh-energy missions at minimum total program cost.
