At Space Station initial operating configuration (IOC), crew time must be used effectively. Crews must become increasingly efficient and support ever widening operations after IOC. The Space Station will have components and operations in other orbits, such as the planned polar platform. It will also have ground based components such as telescience centers at national laboratories, universities, and companies. Advancing space automation and robotics (SAR) can improve Space Station as a tool for researchers working on it or electronically from Earth. Space Station will use many automated systems. It could become more capable, more cost effective, and safer if its systems could be updated economically as technologies improve and advanced robotics become available. The station could serve as a basis for the application and development of many technologies important to the national economy.
