Scientific paper

The in-space operations required to process the lunar and Mars mission vehicles foreseen in early studies for the SEI are discussed. Those studies that have examined the degree to which on-orbit operations alter as a function of the earth-to-orbit launch vehicle size, identified a common set of on-orbit vehicle processing tasks, and generated functional requirements for in-space processing nodes, are summarized. Attention is focused on the amount of time these processing operations might necessitate and how this time duration changes as a result of how the operation is executed and how the hardware is designed.
