The Mercator Lift Vehicle was envisioned to be used as a module carrier for a Luna station during the 1980s. The Mercator flew 7 times, six succesfully, before being cancelled due to complexity.
The first stage comprised of two SRBs, and additionally four engines on the main fuselage.
Once the SRBs and the first stage was jettisoned, the second second stage was powered by a vacuum engine and two orbital manoeuvring engines.
