The space segments design concepts, that is, those of the target and the chaser are discussed. The chaser poses the prime subject, and accordingly, most of the material given in this volume pertains to it. The target satellite is the more passive RVD partner as well as the GEO injection payload of the chaser after docking. The chaser spacecraft is a propulsion module capable of performing the active part of a rendezvous and docking (RVD) process as well as the injection of a payload in apogee. The baseline chaser configuration is an integral, two tank, middle energetic, propulsion stage. The chaser fully complies with the Ariane's payload interface requirements.
