Download or read book On-Orbit Servicing: Next Generation of Space Activities written by Annette Froehlich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shares a range of new and diverse insights on On-Orbit Servicing (OOS), and examines its implications especially from political, legal, economic, and security perspectives. OSS has been evolving rapidly and presents both challenges and opportunities, such as in-space repairs, refuelling, refurbishment of spacecraft and servicing satellites, which could play a critical role in extending satellite lifecycles, while also representing a valuable next step in debris mitigation. At the same time, many legal questions have arisen in connection with OOS: the need to prevent hostile actions under the pretext of OSS; the distinction between governmental and non-governmental OOS operators; the status of re-worked and recycled space objects; the issue of control in terms of operations performed in orbit, i.e., in the international sphere; the status of objects manufactured in orbit and applicable law, including liability and registration; and the impacts on insurance law and risk management. Finally, the book examines the implications of OOS for emerging space actors in the Global South, and recommends a paradigm shift to help developing countries fully recognise the necessity and urgency of being involved in discussions on OSS, as opposed to leaving it up to the developed space actors. This book will be of great interest to practitioners, academics, and students working in the space sector and related fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the work done on the no-cost extension on the on orbit servicing studies. The first task was to extend the detailed communication satellite studies to the military case where the value function does not bear the linear relationship between revenues and costs. The second task was to write up all the on orbit servicing studies (OOS) in the form of an extended monograph. The first task was accomplished through the work of two students. Adam Ross showed how to extend the MATE-CON work on helping decision makers make choices from the static case where attributes are defined initially and stay the same to the dynamic case. In the dynamic case, the decision maker preferences may change with time or the decision makers may have unarticulated preferences (typically expressed as a desire for flexibility). This allows us to move from the case of commercial communication satellites (which have well articulated fixed attributes) to the military case where the preferences can change over time. In the work of Matt Richards, a systematic taxonomy has been developed for analyzing which military space system architectures makes sense for OOS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Using the unique example of the Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions, the upgrade of the payload instruments and the bus subsystems on-board a scientific observatory is modelled. It is shown that satellite upgrades can significantly increase the utility of the mission, in particular if technology is evolving rapidly. It can be concluded from these two case studies that on-orbit servicing is viable and attractive if the increase in utility due to the upgrade is sufficiently large and if there is no other alternative that can offer a similar increase in utility at a lower cost or lower risk. Potential policy barriers to the acceptance of on-orbit servicing are identified and candidate policies are proposed to promote and enable the development of an on-orbit servicing infrastructure. A government intervention is likely to be necessary to overcome the risk averseness of the space industry and the "chicken and egg" problem arising from the necessity of designing the satellite for serviceability.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern world is extremely dependent on thin strings of several hundred civil, military, and commercial spacecraft/satellites currently stationed in space. They provide a steady stream of commerce, defense, and knowledge data. This dependency will in all likelihood increase significantly during this century. A major disruption of any kind in these essential systems and networks could be socially, economically, and politically catastrophic, on a global scale. The development of a space-based, robotic services economy could be useful in mitigating this growing risk, from an efficiency and security standpoint. This paper attempts to suggest what makes sense to invest in next for the logical, economic development of Earth orbit i.e., after ISS completion. It expands on the results of an advanced market research and analysis study that sampled the opinions of several satellite industry executives and presents these results within a broad policy context. The concept of a spacecraft carrier that serves as the nucleus of a national, space-based or on-orbit, robotic services infrastructure is introduced as the next logical step for United States leadership in space. This is viewed as a reasonable and appropriate followon to the development of ELVs and satellites in the 1950s and 1960s, the Space Shuttle/PRLV in the 1970s and 1980s, and the International Space Station (ISS) in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Large-scale experience in LEO-to-GEO spacecraft/satellite servicing and protection by robotic means is assumed to be an indispensable prerequisite or stepping-stone toward the development and preservation of the large scientific exploration facilities that are envisioned by NASA for operation beyond GEO. A balanced, return on national investment (RONI) strategy for space, focused on the provision of enhanced national/homeland security for increased protection, national economic/industrial expansion for increased revenue, and national scientific exploration for increased kn

Download or read book Satellite Servicing Using the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle in Low Earth Orbit written by Anthony D. Cutri and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of servicing and repair of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) using the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) is examined. While current polar orbiting satellites, it could be economically applied to any LEO in which sufficient numbers of satellites are located or where individual satellite cost/ mission justify servicing. Increases in cost effectiveness and operational flexibility of in space systems can be realized when the capability to replenish consumable fluids, propellants and Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs) are incorporated into satellite design. ORUs can be placed in orbit using expendable launch vehicles (ELV), specifically selected to satisfy the mission need. Several suitable small payload, low cost boosters are now under development, with attainment of operational status expected in the early 1990's. The concept calls for modular satellite design and deployment of a space based support platform. New technology could be applied in the form of upgrades and on orbit modifications much more efficiently than the current abandon/replace policy for most satellite systems. The first chapters provide background on the proposed concept, OMV and ELVs. Several polar orbiting satellite systems providing mass summary breakdowns and current cost information are described and then OMV payload servicing using the flight telerobotic servicer is discussed. Comparison of estimated OMV satellite servicing costs vs. satellite replacement for several missions is tabulated.

This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satellites are the only major Air Force systems with no maintenance, routine repair, or upgrade capability. The result is expensive satellites and a heavy reliance on access to space. At the same time, satellite design is maturing and reducing the cost to produce satellites with longer design lives. This works against the ability to keep the technology on satellites current without frequent replacement of those satellites. The Global Positioning System Joint Program Office realizes that it must change its mode of operations to quickly meet new requirements while minimizing cost. The possibility of using robotic servicing architectures to solve these problems is considered in this thesis. The authors accomplished this through a systems engineering and decision analysis approach in which a number of different alternatives for on-orbit satellite repair and upgrade were analyzed. This approach involved defining the problem framework and desired user benefits, then developing different system architectures and determining their performance with regard to the specified benefits. Finally, the authors used decision analysis to evaluate the alternative architectures in the context of the user's goals. The results indicate favorable benefit-to-cost relationships for on-orbit servicing architectures as compared to the current mode of operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-orbit operations optimization among multiple cooperative or noncooperative spacecraft, which is often challenged by tight constraints and shifting parameters, has grown to be a hot issue in recent years. The authors of this book summarize related optimization problems into four planning categories: spacecraft multi-mission planning, far-range orbital maneuver planning, proximity relative motion planning and multi-spacecraft coordinated planning. The authors then formulate models, introduce optimization methods, and investigate simulation cases that address problems in these four categories. This text will serve as a quick reference for engineers, graduate students, postgraduates in the fields of optimization research and on-orbit operation mission planning.

This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has operated continuously since 1990. During that time, four space shuttle-based service missions were launched, three of which added major observational capabilities. A fifth â€" SM-4 â€" was intended to replace key telescope systems and install two new instruments. The loss of the space shuttle Columbia, however, resulted in a decision by NASA not to pursue the SM-4 mission leading to a likely end of Hubble's useful life in 2007-2008. This situation resulted in an unprecedented outcry from scientists and the public. As a result, NASA began to explore and develop a robotic servicing mission; and Congress directed NASA to request a study from the National Research Council (NRC) of the robotic and shuttle servicing options for extending the life of Hubble. This report presents an assessment of those two options. It provides an examination of the contributions made by Hubble and those likely as the result of a servicing mission, and a comparative analysis of the potential risk of the two options for servicing Hubble. The study concludes that the Shuttle option would be the most effective one for prolonging Hubble's productive life.
