The Manned Space Station (MSS) program is summarized, along with the program guidelines, activities, plans, management approach, international involvement and the present and future private sector role in space. The MSS, the first continually-manned facility in space, will be configured to grow modularly to meet future needs. Comprising both manned and unattached unmanned elements, the program is to advance the state of robotics and automation. Numerous uses of the MSS have been defined in support of and as the primary platform for astronomical observations, experimentation on prototype space-based industrial processes, and as a staging area for the launch and refurbishment of spacecraft. Current studies are targeted at defining the final design of the initial operating configuration, the hardware to be developed by the nations and organizations which are sharing in the work, and developing interest among potential commercial users of the MSS capabilities.
