The low Earth orbit (LEO) versus the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) deployment systems were discussed. The following items are emphasized: (1) large area systems, such as deployment, altitude, orbit transfer, and on orbit operation; (2) propulsion oriented issues such as the orbit transfer vehicle and the auxiliary propulsion systems; (3) programmatic issues. The LEO versus GEO deployment is a significant driver on propulsion requirements for an orbit transfer vehicle. It is suggested that early systems will be deployed at LEO. The Shuttle remote manipulator system (RMS) will not be involved in early demonstration activities. It is concluded that an integrated large space system/propulsion approach is essential and that propulsion development requirements need to be established.
