Key interfaces are described for all LST mission phases: ground test and integration, prelaunch and launch operations, ascent, deployment, operations, on-orbit maintenance, retrieval, deorbit and landing, and refurbishment. These interfaces can be categorized as test and integration, launch operations, Shuttle, data, and mission operations. The interface with the Shuttle and the Shuttle crew is emphasized here because the Shuttle allows a new capability: on-orbit maintenance and ground return. The LST will communicate with the ground elements of the LST system through a space link by means of the Tracking Data Relay Satellite System or directly to the stations of the Space Tracking and Data Network.
