The goal of the Space Station Systems Analysis Study was to synthesize a program that would provide a permanent operational base and space laboratory capability in earth orbit, and to develop SCB (Space Construction Base) design concepts for implementing the program. The following four mission categories which offer clear potential benefits on earth were selected as drivers for the SCB concept and overall program: Space Solar Power Development, Space Manufacturing, Public Service Platform for advanced communications/navigation/surveillance, and Science-Solar Terrestrial Observatory/Life Science. Space Solar power emerged as the most compelling mission with the greatest impact on the program. The other three missions integrated with the solar power development needs for large electrical power supply, long duration manned presence in space, and an in-space construction facility.
