    The Space Station: From concept to evolving reality (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: This review surveys the origin and conceptual evolution of the space station. It opens with U.S. President Ronald W. Reagan's announcement that one would be developed during the coming decade, continues with an assessment by the Space Science Board of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences of requirements for and potential benefits of a space station, and offers NASA's rationale for its development, construction, and utilization. The review examines early space station concepts, beginning with Edward Everell Hale's Brick Moon of 1869-1870 and going on to proposals by space pioneers Tsiolkovskii of Russia, Oberth of Germany, Noordung and von Pirquet of Austria, and others. Considerable attention is focused on designs put forward during the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's by individuals, by NASA investigators, and by industrial and other contractors. Langley's rotating hexagon, the space base configurations, and other designs are reviewed and strategies are considered for resolving the problem of integrating a multidisciplinary research program with varying and sometimes incompatible engineering and design requirements. The article describes the power tower and dual keel configurations of the 1980's. The interdisciplinary nature of the space station is evident throughout.

    From 2001 to 1994: Political environment and the design of NASA's Space Station system (1988)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The U.S. civilian space station, a hope of numerous NASA engineers since before the agency was founded in 1958 and promoted by NASA as the country's 'next logical step' into space, provides an excellent case study of the way public-sector research and development agencies continuously redefine new technologies in the absence of the market discipline that governs private-sector technological development. The number of space station design studies conducted since 1959, both internally by NASA or contracted by the agency to the aerospace industry, easily exceeds a hundred. Because of this, three clearly distinguishable examples are selected from the almost thirty-year history of space station design in NASA. Together these examples illustrate the difficulty of defining a new technological system in the public sector as that system becomes increasingly subject, for its development, to the vagaries of federal research and development politics.

    Space station evolution: Planning for the future (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The need for permanently manned presence in space has been recognized by the United States and its international partners for many years. The development of this capability was delayed due to the concurrent recognition that reusable earth-to-orbit transportation was also needed and should be developed first. While the decision to go ahead with a permanently manned Space Station was on hold, requirements for the use of the Station were accumulating as ground-based research and the data from unmanned spacecraft sparked the imagination of both scientists and entrepreneurs. Thus, by the time of the Space Station implementation decision in the early 1980's, a variety of disciplines, with a variety of requirements, needed to be accommodated on one Space Station. Additional future requirements could be forecast for advanced missions that were still in the early planning stages. The logical response was the development of a multi-purpose Space Station with the ability to evolve on-orbit to new capabilities as required by user needs and national or international decisions, i.e., to build an evolutionary Space Station. Planning for evolution is conducted in parallel with the design and development of the baseline Space Station. Evolution planning is a strategic management process to facilitate change and protect future decisions. The objective is not to forecast the future, but to understand the future options and the implications of these on today's decisions. The major actions required now are: (1) the incorporation of evolution provisions (hooks and scars) in the baseline Space Station; and (2) the initiation of an evolution advanced development program.

    The space station power system (1989)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The requirements for electrical power by the proposed Space Station Freedom are discussed. The options currently under consideration are examined. The three power options are photovoltaic, solar dynamic, and a hybrid system. Advantages and disadvantages of each system are tabulated. Drawings and artist concepts of the Space Station configuration are provided.

    Panel on Space Station utilization benefits (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: An account is given of recent changes in the NASA Space Station, under the guidance of updated user community payload requirements. The user communities are those of astronomy, the life sciences, earth observation, and international applications. Attention is given to the resolutions that will be achievable by astronomical instruments aboard the Space Station, the testing of prototype earth observation instruments aboard the Station's manned module, and the microgravity research efforts planned in conjunction with ESA.

    X-ray satellite (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: As far as technical performance is concerned, the project is still within the previously arranged plan and as far as the launching possibilities are conserned, there is a change from the previous situation. A launch date in 1989 can only be realized with a Delta II, since there is no data available at present for the Atlas/Centaur as to whether and when production will resume.
