Effects of space environment, performance requirements, operational phases, and time to survival, each of which varies considerably for selected missions are examined; first three of these factors are similar in nature to those which aircraft designer has previously encountered; detail design of spacecraft hardware will always reflect requirement to provide means of safely returning to Earth in emergency; emergency return time, or time to survival, is as much as 3-1/2 days for lunar missions and as much as one year for Mars and Venus missions.
