Conceptual design for manned service platforms
Abstract
Conceptual designs of past manned service platforms (MSPF's) are summarized. Mission concepts and system architectures are evaluated by comparing them to reference examples. The largest design drivers are the infrastructure concepts and development of the integrated assembly sequences. First, the functions and properties to satisfy the users' requirements are reviewed in general, and then the characteristics of the MSPF (Manned Service Platform) project are analyzed. Reviews are conducted on their system concepts, assembly and construction, and their operations.
