Description
The Space Operations Center and the Space Manufacturing and Processes Systems have major characteristics of compatibility and can be mutually influential in formulating the next major space initiative. The Phase Program Plan of the SOC provides for increasing capabilities and can be integrated with a Space Manufacturing System's concept in which both the development and operational phases can be implemented. The requirements for the Space Manufacturing System appear to be suitable for SOC on-board development and then operationally as a tender of a free-flying satellite in a station-keeping orbit. The free-flying satellite can be placed in an orbit which hovers about the SOC and never exceeds line of sight communications limits. The services and reboost requirements can likewise be accommodated.
The concepts of phased programs, development and operations, station-keeping orbit envelopes, propulsive Harbor Tugs and aspects of servicing will be an issue and presented.
