Orbital servicing assessed from the viewpoint of a commercial user of communications satellites at geostationary orbit. The need for servicing is emphasized by looking at the history of failures and defects occurring in communications satellites. The methods used in servicing were evaluated in terms of the needs of a communications satellite user. A system that utilizes servicing was studied, and some benefits in addition to cost savings were identified. Most of the assumptions and conclusions apply to earth observation satellites at geostationary orbit.
