A status report is given concerning the technology assessment and implementation effort begun by NASA to provide the basis for a 'permanent' manned space station. NASA's space station technology discipline working groups are identified, and the groups' ground rules and technology and design goals are outlined. Selected examples of high-priority technology tasks are examined to delineate the extent to which space station design and use depend on advanced technology developments of the future. Attention is devoted to working group programs dealing with data management, power and thermal systems, auxiliary propulsion, attitude control and stabilization, communications, structural elements and mechanisms, environmental control and life-support systems, human capabilities, and systems and operations analysis.
