This report reviews on-orbit satellite servicing as a forward-based logistic concept through an examination of its potential military benefits to endurance and survivability of space systems; analyzes reasons for opposition to implementation of the program within the military space environment by focusing on the orbital refueling subfunction; and assesses the potential of orbital servicing to increase system capability and survivability while reducing system costs. Keywords: Space maintenance; Space stations; Space based; Orbits; Military satellites; Cost effectiveness. (jg)
