Design of a 25-kW power or utilities module, capable of extending the effective duration of Spacelab missions, is discussed. The power module, planned for availability in 1984, could also support a Spacelab modified to be a free-flyer by providing attitude control and power. In addition, development of a 250-kW power module to support a Shuttle-tended space platform or a Shuttle-tended space construction base is projected. A free-flying teleoperator capable of deboosting Skylab, systems to construct large planar arrays in space, and a habitable module providing crew quarters for continuously manned operations are also described.
