LEGO: Definition Study of Potential Operation Modes for Large Spacelab Facility Payloads (LIRTS, EXSPOS, GRIST)

摘要

Feasible alternative mission operation modes with respect to minimizing mission costs were investigated for three large solar/astronomy instruments. Different mission modes are identified, consequences for operation, instruments design and development, and relative budgetary costs are presented and optimum mission modes are selected. A systems requirement is outlined and subsystem bardware identified to support the mission mode. Development plans and budgetary costs for the three instruments/missions modes are given.
