Today’s Macro Space Transportation System Vehicle Mission • Deliver payload/crew into space • Return payloads/crew from space Functions • • • Propel Navigation and Attitude Life support Abort, rescue Maintain environment (radiation, cleanliness, temperature, etc. ) Payload Mission • Accomplish in-flight mission Functions • Power the system • Communicate • Perform in-flight tasks (communications, remote sensing, experimentation, manufacturing) Spaceport Mission • Provide support for processing and launch/landing • • Functions Process vehicle and payloads Checkout Launch Landing Payload integration Mission success decision making (weather, vehicle health) Environmental compatibility Range Mission • Provide for transport of humans and cargo to and from space • Ensure public safety during operations • Satisfy customer requirements Functions • Commanding • • (terminate/abort flight and control of flight) Perform data analysis and decision making Collect, process, distribute, display, and archive data: • Tracking data • Telemetry data • Surveillance data • Weather data Provide communications architecture Coordinate Range Assets

Spaceport Technology in Context ASTWG Stakeholders establish Mission drives functions Organizations implement Functions within Architectures Components satisfy functions Technology creates Components to support evolving Architectures Changes in stakeholder needs change the mission and drives the need for new technologies
