The architecture of the Station, the system requirements, and the operational capabilities for ground and flight operations are described. The proposed Space Station design is dual keel and the components of the Station are listed. The initial ground processing activities are to reflect the on-orbit assembly sequence; the four phases of the assembly are examined. The planning and analysis for the ground processing of the Station with an emphasis on cost are discussed. The logistics resupply elements aspect of the ground processing sequence is considered. An example testing the capabilities of the ground processing sequence is presented. Diagrams of the Shuttle, its modules, and ground facilities and equipment are provided.
