Potential NASA missions utilizing large space systems are outlined. With reference to the Mobile Communications Satellite, four conceptual antenna configurations are described and compared. The Science and Applications Space Platform is described and the development of a power utilization package is examined. The package would be left on orbit and would provide a cost-effective means for collecting sunlight energy, storing it and providing power to Shuttle and payloads.
