Scientific paper

The German Space Programme with respect to automation and robotics (A&R) is focussing on the development of on-orbit-servicing (OOS) technologies and the demonstration of their capabilities. The utilization of OOS-technologies could gradually lead to a complete restructuring of the way how we usually do space today. The proposed future infrastructure scenario VERSICA (VERsatile Space Infrastructure Concept for Applications in space) encloses many elements which are inevitable if it comes to the mounting and the operation of huge solar power plants in space. As a consequence the realization of the vision will come along with the qualification and verification of key technologies needed for any SPS infrastructure concept. Vice versa a profound SPS scenario will be a major driver for the requirements which future OOS elements will have to meet. On that score it is recommended to start a dialog between the supporters of SPS and OOS technologies. Thus the inherent synergies can be utilized to better meet the respective objectives.
