AIAA SLTC Position Paper: “Recommended Government Actions to Address Critical U.S. Space Logistics Needs.” This position paper has been developed by the Space Logistics Technical Committee to raise public awareness of the importance of establishing a near-term space logistics infrastructure for assured, routine space access for passengers and cargo, in-space mobility within the central solar system for passengers and cargo, and in-space logistics support for civil, commercial, national security, and human space exploration operations in space. The paper recommends three specific Government actions and provides a brief description of an example space logistics infrastructure with two illustrations. <LINK> 4 Meg |
