Stabilized Sensor Platform for Manned Space Observation

Abstract

This report documents system-level requirements in all applicable areas which need to be considered in the development and design of a stabilized sensor platform. The objective of the platform is to enhance man's ability to use optical instruments and perform observations of ground scenes from orbiting space vehicles. This report is intended to serve several purposes within the overall plan, namely: (1) Establishes, documents, and provides rationale for technical and operational requirements which the platform design must fulfill; (2) Provides a consolidated source of information, inputs, and reference materials which influence the design approach and technology selections; (3) Allows broad and early exposure of our development baselines for the stabilized sensor platform so that reviewers can identify and feedback any issues or concerns.
