A study was undertaken to examine the feasibility of employing space platforms for geosynchronous operations. The basic approach taken was to define two geosynchronous traffic models and to develop a logical pattern of subsequent analyses leading to the definition of system requirements and conceptual platform designs for each model. Alternative geosynchronous programs were defined using various configurations and operational modes, which were then evaluated to determine a recommended geosynchronous program approach. Later, attention was focused on transportation interfaces in order to define the desired match between geosynchronous platforms and transportation system elements.
