The Space Launch System (SLS) is envisioned as a heavy-lift vehicle that will provide the foundation for future beyond-low-Earth orbit (LEO) exploration missions. Previous studies have been performed to determine the optimal configuration for the SLS and the applicability of commercial off-the-shelf in-space stages for Earth departure. Currently, NASA is analyzing the concept of an Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) that will provide LEO insertion and Earth departure burns. This paper will explore candidate in-space stages based on the EUS design for a wide range of beyond LEO missions. Mission payloads will range from small robotic systems up to human systems with deep space habitats and landers. Mission destinations will include cislunar space, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. |
