Effective Utilization of Resources and Infrastructure for a Spaceport Network Architecture

摘要: Providing routine, affordable access to a variety of orbital and deep space destinations requires an intricate network ground, planetary surface, space-based spaceports like those on Earth (land sea), in various orbits, other extraterrestrial surfaces. Advancements technology international collaboration are critical establish spaceport that satisfies the requirements for private government research, exploration, commercial objectives. Technologies, interfaces, assembly techniques, protocols must be adapted enable mission capabilities interoperability throughout network. The conceptual architecture address full range required services, from managing propellants spacecraft governance structure. In order accomplish affordability sustainability goals, consider deriving situ resources maximum extent possible. Water Moon Mars, Mars' atmospheric CO2, O2 extracted lunar regolith examples could used generate spacecraft, stages trajectories, commodities support habitation human operations at these destinations. ability use in-space fuel depots containing derived would drastically reduce mass launch long-duration or missions Earth's gravity well. Advances transformative technologies common capabilities, umbilicals, commodities, protocols, agreements will facilitate cost-effective, safe, reliable infrastructure versatile Earth- spaceports. Defining Earth, surfaces, space, as well construct propellant serve network, exploration costs due standardization commonality reduction number types interfaces commodities.
