Viewgraphs and discussion on an evolutionary construction facility for Space Station Freedom are presented. Space Station Freedom (SSF) will support permanent human presence in space and has the potential to enable scientific and exploratory endeavors unequalled in history. With larger and more ambitious spacecraft being developed, it will serve as a site for construction, checkout, and deployment. A facility attached to SSF is required to develop and demonstrate the techniques that will enable on-orbit construction of future large spacecraft. Examples of attached scientific experiments that currently envision in-space construction and that are discussed are: Solar X-ray Pinhole Occulter Facility, Astromag, and X-ray Large Array. Examples of large assemblable spacecraft which are discussed are: Large Deployable Reflector (LDR), Geostationary Platforms, and interplanetary vehicles.
