Space platform reference mission studies overview
Abstract
The design requirements for three major space platform systems are identified. The three were the Science and Applications Space Platform (SASP), the Geostationary Platform (GSP), and the Satellite Power System (SPS). Because the SASP and GSP were assumed to require no advanced technology for their development an advanced version of each was selected on which to base the design requirements. The SPS represented the opposite development state hence a nearer term test article was selected on which to base the requirements. The development period for these missions is estimated.
