Spacecraft and space stations orbiting the earth for long periods of time will incur many malfunctions requiring redundancy or orbital maintenance. Redundancy will suffice for the shorter periods while maintenance becomes a necessity in the long run. For maintenance to become a reality it must be both system and cost effective. It will never become effective unless the spacecraft is maintainable, spares are interchangeable, and man can make in-space repairs. Current programs are slowly advancing the technologies but a concentrated, comprehensive program is needed to make maintenance a reality reasonably soon. (Author)
