The design options for the space station are discussed in general terms, reflecting the approach taken by the NASA Concept Development Group. Primary aims are flexibility and transparency, to fulfill as many scientific and commercial user requirements as possible and to open the station to as many new users as possible; utilities, facilities, and functional support must be designed to meet these aims. General architecture options considered include the present STS, an extended STS, a limited-duration manned transportation node with unmanned platforms, and a manned station with unmanned platforms and transportation-node capability (OTV, TMS). The latter option is found most promising and developed further, with consideration of the technical challenges involved.
