The paper surveys three specific large space structures which have been analyzed to determine the technology needed to achieve a fully operational system. These are the multipurpose platforms; satellite power systems, and a deployable antenna. Further attention is also given to those technology needs which can be satisfied by ground based technology (simulation), such as payload carrier modification or design, platform element connectors and fittings, data compression and storage equipment, man-machine interface and productivity assessment, and astronaut aids. Also covered are those technology and performance parameters which require demonstration in orbit.
