Abstract
The assembly of the Space Station is examined in terms of user and operational requirements. The Space Shuttle/Space Station interface is analyzed. The effect of the changing space transportation environment on the Space Station assembly requirements and the lift capabilities of the Shuttle are investigated. Consideration is given to crew replacement and the Shuttle launch rate; the use of the advanced solid rocket motor to increase the lifting capability of the Shuttle to 52,000 lbs; and the use of ELVs for launching modules of the Space Station.
