An Entity of Type: WikicatShuttle-derivedSpaceLaunchVehicles, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

SERV, short for Single-stage Earth-orbital Reusable Vehicle, was a proposed space launch system designed by Chrysler's Space Division for the Space Shuttle project. SERV was so radically different from the two-stage spaceplanes that almost every other competitor entered into the Shuttle development process that it was never seriously considered for the shuttle program. The name "SERV" was also used by an entirely unrelated NASA project, the "Space Emergency Re-entry Vehicle".

dbo:abstract
  • SERV, short for Single-stage Earth-orbital Reusable Vehicle, was a proposed space launch system designed by Chrysler's Space Division for the Space Shuttle project. SERV was so radically different from the two-stage spaceplanes that almost every other competitor entered into the Shuttle development process that it was never seriously considered for the shuttle program. SERV was to be a single-stage to orbit spacecraft that would take off from the existing Saturn V complexes and land vertically at Kennedy for re-use. SERV looked like a greatly expanded Apollo capsule, with an empty central core able to carry 125,000 lb (57,000 kg) of cargo. SERV could be launched uncrewed for cargo missions, ejecting a cargo capsule and returning to Earth. For crewed missions, a separate spaceplane, MURP (Manned Upper-stage Reusable Payload), could be carried atop the vehicle. The name "SERV" was also used by an entirely unrelated NASA project, the "Space Emergency Re-entry Vehicle". (en)
  • Lo Shuttle SERV (Single-stage Earth-orbital Reusable Vehicle) era un modello di navetta spaziale riutilizzabile proposto dalla Chrysler alla fine degli anni sessanta. A quell'epoca, la NASA avviò lo studio di un veicolo spaziale riutilizzabile e chiese a varie ditte di proporre i loro progetti. Nell'ambito di questa competizione, la Chrysler propose il SERV. Questo tipo di navetta sarebbe stato lanciato in orbita da un razzo ad un solo stadio, incorporato nel veicolo; il SERV sarebbe partito ed atterrato verticalmente. Nelle missioni con equipaggio umano, sulla cima del SERV sarebbe stato agganciato un modulo riutilizzabile chiamato MURP (Manned Upper-stage Reusable Payload), che in orbita si sarebbe sganciato dal SERV e sarebbe rientrato per conto proprio. Il SERV/MURP non incontrò il favore della NASA, così rimase solo allo stadio di progetto. (it)
