American orbital launch vehicle. This variant of the Shuttle C was envisioned for delivery of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to orbit.
It would have no payload module, just a thrust structure for two SSME's. 74,000 kg of unused propellant within the external tank could be delivered to orbit for transfer to space station propellant farms or interlunar/interplanetary spacecraft.
