The name “Space Shuttle” subsequently became a permanent fixture for the vehicle, which NASA agreed should incorporate a fully re-usable, two-stage design. The name “Space Shuttle” first appeared in the “purpose” section of an official invitation for production contract bids issued on February 18, 1970. Early in 1970, NASA refined their technical requirements for the vehicle. They unanimously recommended a fully re-usable, two-stage vehicle. These companies presented reports to NASA by November 1, 1969. Invitations were given to four aerospace contractors to present design proposals on re-usable and partially re-usable manned spacecraft.
On January 31, 1969, NASA issued feasibility design study contracts for their “Integrated Launch and Re-entry Vehicle” (ILRV). Of course, history would prove otherwise. The words “cheap” and “routine” were the words which most closely matched the objectives for Space Shuttles as expressed by NASA. In addition, NASA believed that Space Shuttles could serve as multi-purpose satellite delivery vehicles with the potential to completely replace Atlas-Centaur, Delta and Titan rockets.

The space station would support a plethora of scientific research objectives, plus act as an engineering and support base for manned journeys to the planets. presence in space following the Apollo lunar landings. The space station was intended to assure a permanent manned U.S. At the time, NASA envisioned a space station which would be staffed by 12 to 24 people. The first goal of the Space Shuttle program was to provide NASA with an efficient, re-usable method of carrying astronauts to and from a permanently manned space station.
