Perspectives on future space systems
Abstract
In response to increasing economic stresses and social concerns, the U.S. space program is being restructured, with a shift in mission strategy for future space activities and a change in design philosophy for space systems. NASA and DOD have established several national technology programs. They include Earth-to-Orbit (ETO) propulsion, the aeroassist flight experiment, telerobotics, space power, thermal management, control/structures interactions, space science sensor programs, and the small spacecraft technology program.
