– Launch Mass (Estimated)<br />

– ERC will require a launcher upper stage to provide rendezvous and docking<br />

capability.<br />

– Appendages will require disposable support structure (possible component of<br />

disposable upper stage) and will require EVA-assisted assembly by robotic arm<br />

from service platform.<br />
