The solar workshop began with a review of the needs and objectives in this area as presented by the various government representatives during the preceding sessions. The major problem noted with respect to needs was the potentially conflicting requirements of low cost and low weight. Since the importance of weight and cost and relationship between them are strongly mission dependent, the workshop concluded that the requirements of military missions in synchronous orbit could be quite different from the requirements of NASA low-orbit missions and that an assignment of specific technology deficiencies could only be related to specific mission classes.
