Abstract

Designing a manned spacecraft carrying one or two persons to low Earth orbits needs to recognize system level requirements and acquire technical data developed in this eria. Revising manned spacecrafts’ characteristics leads to recognize system level requirements and achieve applicable results which are needed to design and development of such a spacecraft. Manned spacecraft characteristics comparing charts and figures show a roughly analogous pattern in terms of mass and dimensions and confirm the parallel subsystems have similar performance.
