Geosynchronous platform definition study. Volume 7: Geosynchronous transporation requirementsThe analyses and trade studies are presented which were conducted to define the interfaces between geosynchronous platforms and the space transportation system. Mission timelines are synthesized for both manned and unmanned placement and servicing operations. Physical, operational, and functional interfaces between platforms and the space shuttle and tug are derived from the timelines. Where interface incompatibilities exist, alternate approaches are evaluated and a preferred approach is defined. An evaluation of the adaptation of the solar electric propulsion (SEP) stage for geosynchronous operations is presented. A comparison of geosynchronous platform programs with and without the SEP stage in the transportation system is developed.
