Shuttle II (also termed the Advanced Manned Launch System in some documents) was a crewed spacecraft and launch vehicle proposed by NASA's Langley Research Center (LaRC) in the 1990s as a successor to the original Space Shuttle. It was a two-stage fully reusable tandem-launched spaceplane design. Both stages used liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen propellants, with uprated RS-25/SSME engines. The orbiter could seat ten astronauts, and a novel external payload bay (removable and swappable between missions) supported a variety of cargo types (or a passenger module for an additional 20 seats). Shuttle II/AMLS was intended to fly weekly, at a price per launch orders of magnitude lower than the first-generation Shuttle
