Examination of requirements for multiman crew transport and operational disadvantages of lunar orbital mission mode; possibilities for landing multiman crews in direct mission mode, booster system requirements and state of art in necessary subsystems; possible evolutionary program which uses extensions of present programs and new developments is shown; concepts which seem to have merits such as extended Apollo/LOR modification which could increase landed crew by 50%, or one man (three vs present two); however, substantial logistic cargo landing capability may be required; one- or two-stage service module landers would be adaptable to service, providing 20,000-lb of cargo landed per Saturn V launch.
