Geostationary earth observations - Platform operations from the Space Station
Abstract
The ground, launch, and servicing operations associated with the deployment of a geostationary earth observation platform from the Space Station are discussed. The main features of a configuration developed for the next generation geostationary observation platform and its flight operations are reviewed. The total operational cost of the platform from initial launch, assembly, and test of the Space Station, and the geo insertion is estimated at $240M, with a subsequent servicing mission costing $123M.
