Designing Space Station Freedom for evolution
Abstract
The requirements for using the Space Station for research and development and to support human missions to the Moon and Mars are examined. Space Station configurations are presented for these two cases. It is suggested that, by the year 2010, the Space Station requirements for research and development should include 275 kW of average power, a crew of 24, 5 full laboratory modules, and 3 pocket labs. For supporting the Lunar/Mars program as a transportation node facility, the Space Station should require 175 kw of average power, 16 crew members, 3 full laboratory modules, and 1 pocket lab.
