ATIG Members-

Those of you on ATIG distribution in March 2014 will recall receiving a
draft paper titled "Aquarius, A Reusable Water-Based Interplanetary Human
Spaceflight Transport".  Since then, the paper has morphed into an American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) distinguished lecture I
present at venues across the U.S.  As of today, 28 July 2016, the paper has
been published as a peer-reviewed article in Acta Astronautica Vol. 128
(2016) pp. 160-179.  Until 16 September 2016, you may download a "final
version" of the published article at
http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1TSDrLWHFg814 free of charge.

Many ATIG members contributed helpful feedback on Aquarius, and I believe at
least one of you served as a peer reviewer for Acta.  This feedback has been
very helpful to the subject proposal's maturation and is greatly
appreciated.

In the final version, a parenthetical sentence appears at the end of many
figure captions.  The "web version" to which readers are referred in this
sentence is one and the same with the "final version" available for
download.  Enjoy!

-Dan

ATIG Members-

Attached is a reasonably mature draft proposal for a water-based
interplanetary human transport architecture.  Trajectory designs in Section
III make repeated use of the "aid" from the last ATIG upload on 27 January.
My co-author Dr. Jim Logan and I hope this proposal helps human spaceflight
stakeholders focus on a synergistic interplay of technologies and strategies
critical to a sustainable presence far beyond low Earth orbit.  As always,
your questions and comments are welcome.
