Description: This paper presents a summary of studies performed by the Space Division of Rockwell under contract to the Langley Research Center of the NASA. The studies specifically addressed requirements and concepts for erectable structures ranging in size from 100 to 300 meters using the Shuttle Orbiter as the operation/assembly base. This paper discusses various types of structural configurations and building block elements and the criteria which influence their designs. A brief review is given concerning the subject of flight control. An assembly concept is presented - showing how the Orbiter may be equipped and operated to build large area structures. Estimates are also given for cargo bay stowage and mission timelines.
