Also, the designers of large space systems for approved missions (in the future) will utilize the technology described in the documents referenced herein This literature survey lists 399 reports, articles and other documents announced between January 1, 1985 and June 30, 1985 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR), and International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents that define specific missions that will require large space structures to achieve their objectives. The methods of integrating advanced technology into system configurations and ascertaining the resulting capabilities is also addressed. A wide range of structural concepts are identified. These include erectable structures which are earth fabricated and space assembled, deployable platforms and deployable antennas which are fabricated, assembled, and packaged on Earth with automatic deployment in space, and space fabricated structures which use pre-processed materials to build the structure in orbit. The supportive technology that is necessary for full utilization of these concepts is also included These technologies are identified as analysis and design techniques, structural and thermal analysis, structural dynamics and control, electronics, advanced materials, assembly concepts, and propulsion A separate companion document "Space Station Systems Bibliography" (NASA SP-7056) incorporates space station technology not applicable to large space systems Space station systems technology that is also applicable to large space systems may be documented in both bibliographies Robert L Wright, Space Systems Divison Sue K Seward, Technical Library Branch TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Category 01 Systems 1 Includes mission and program concepts and requirements, focus missions, conceptual studies, technology planning, systems analysis and integration, and flight experiments.

  • CLASSIFICATION of GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 13 Produced with the DISCOS Database
    EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY EUROPEAN SPACE OPERATIONS CENTRE GROUND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Space Debris Office GEN-DB-LOG-00074-OPS-GR CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 13 by T. Flohrer, R. Choc, and B. Bastida Produced with the DISCOS Database February 2011 ESOC Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of the end of 2010. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring (here defined as orbits with mean motion between 0.9 and 1.1 revolutions per day, eccentricity smaller than 0.2 and inclination below 30 deg) is analysed. From 1202 objects for which orbital data are available, 397 are controlled inside their longitude slots, 622 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 172 are in a libration orbit and 11 whose status could not be determined. Fur- thermore, there are 72 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 66 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1274. During 2010 at least sixteen spacecraft reached end-of-life. Eleven of them were reorbited following the IADC recommendations, of which one spacecraft was reorbited with a perigee of 241 km - it is not yet clear if it will enter the 200-km protected zone around GEO or not -, four spacecraft were reorbited too low and at least one spacecraft did not or could not make any reorbiting manouevre at all and is now librating inside the geostationary ring.
