Summary
The benefits to be obtained from cost-effective global observation of the earth, its environment, and its natural and man-made features are examined using typical spacecraft and missions which could enhance the benefits of space operations. The technology needs and areas of interest include: (1) a ten-fold increase in the dimensions of deployable and erectable structures to provide booms, antennas, and platforms for global sensor systems; (2) control and stabilization systems capable of pointing accuracies of 1 arc second or less to locate targets of interest and maintain platform or sensor orientation during operations; (3) a factor of five improvements in spacecraft power capacity to support payloads and supporting electronics; (4) auxiliary propulsion systems capable of 5 to 10 years on orbit operation; (5) multipurpose sensors; and (6) end-to-end data management and an information system configured to accept new components or concepts as they develop.
