Advanced space system concepts and their orbital support needs (1980 - 2000)
Abstract
Possible uses of satellite technology up to the year 2000 are suggested and discussed. Included are electronic mail transmission, a personal communications capability, quick location of vehicles or shipments, monitoring of disputed territorial borders, upgraded scientific exploration of the universe, providing better maps of the Earth by remote sensing, space solar power stations and the safe transmission of the electrical energy to Earth, night lighting, and a small personal navigation capability. Support requirements are outlined.
