The essential requirement of the Space Station that the customer be continually involved in all aspects of the program is considered. Potential users of the Space Station need both formal and informal channels into the program at an early stage of the definition process to secure their influence and participation in the development process. Only with this participation can users' needs and requirements be integrated into the design phase to produce 'user friendliness' in the Space Station. A Space Station that is easy and economical to use will generate more users that can take advantage of the available resources. The Space Station must be: a research facility; a satellite servicing and assembly facility; an observatory for terrestrial, solar, and astronomical viewing; and a transportation node for orbit transfer vehicles. NASA intends to see that the Space Station is developed and operated so as to serve its users.
