Here's a study critiquing the JPL All-solid fuel four stage NOVA vehicle concept and refining the ideas related to vehicle structures requirements and supporting infrastructure (launch pads and ground handling). Most of the graphics used in the presentation are identical or similar in nature to the ones previously posted in the JPL Four Stage Solid NOVA Vehicle Study Summary posted here earlier. Some new relevant graphics are included here relating to the aerodynamic interstage fairings for the vehicle and some historically interesting concepts related to the vehicle assembly and launch mode comparisons studied.
