| 内容記述 | The architecture, functions, and human activities on-board a space station are discussed. A manned presence is regarded as essential for innovative actions and successful exploitation of weightless conditions. The station itself could be a cluster of modules for habitation, power, operations, docking, experimentation, and storage. Additionally, the station could provide an interface for free-flying platforms and teleoperated satellite services, as well as a base for establishing space-based manufacturing facilities. NASA has projected timelines that include initial development funding in 1987, full capabilities before the year 2000, and initial costs for minimum capabilities of $7.5-9 billion. Architecture, mission requirements, trade-offs, and concepts are currently being defined as a prelude to systems development. Attention is being given to participation by both the DoD and other governments, and to defining the capabilities of the station, including habitability, closed-loop life-support system, the scope of science application and data transfer, and the power requirements. |
