MOBEV F2E

Status: Study 1966. Gross mass: 1,107 kg (2,440 lb). Unfuelled mass: 339 kg (747 lb). Specific impulse: 290 s.

Four main lift engines were used for boost and midcourse corrections and positive expulsion tanks were provided. Line of sight communications with the orbiting CSM were provided by the PLSS VHF system with the addition of an amplifier to increase the range. The navigation and guidance system was the same as the surface-to-surface vehicle with the addition of a rendezvous transponder. The F2E had a fueled mass of 1106 kg, and would cost $ 33.0 million and 42 months to develop. A three-man version, designated F3E, would have a mass of 1476 kg and take $34.8 million/42 months to develop.
