Operations Analysis (Study 2.6) Final Report Volume Ⅳ Computer Specification – Logistics of Orbiting Vehicle Servicing (LOVES)

摘要

The study also promoted a better appreciation for the Tug capabilities which should eventually result in a better utilization. For example, the space servicing approach reduces the weight carried to orbit to accomplish the mission and allows packaging in small increments which should certainly improve the loading of the Tug and Shuttle. Space servicing also strongly supports standardization of subsystems which can potentially reduce RDTゎE and unit-recurring costs.nIn order to analyze the concept of space servicing, it is first neces¬sary to perform a statistical analysis of the failure characteristics of all payloads to be serviced. The large volume of space traffic projected for the time period of interest, the demands on the logistics fleet which must be integrated with other flight requirements and the high degree of detail neces¬sary to simulate space servicing all tend to favor a computer simulation as the appropriate study tool.
