The requirements for extended-duration space missions in earth orbit beyond those anticipated for the 7- to 30-day Shuttle Spacelab system have been examined. It has been determined that a continuously manned, free-flying orbital facility provides a realistic and cost-effective space platform for multidiscipline payloads designed to support research, applications, and system implementation programs such as the assembly of large space structures, and on-orbit space manufacturing. A conceptual description of such a manned facility (early Space Station) and the accommodations that it can provide using agencies and organizations is presented in this paper.
