The implementation of a European manned space infrastructure as a follow-on to Columbus is discussed. The types of in orbit operations and the elements (vehicles, or other) required by the assembly and servicing of this Space Station are reviewed. Scenarios of construction are discussed with emphasis on the assembly of each Space Station element. The concept of a vehicle necessary for the transportation and assembly of the elements is featured. Analysis of the servicing scenarios highlights the types of servicing vehicle (Hermes, or logistics vehicle using an Ariane extended stage) maintenance operations, and manipulator systems.
