Abstract :
The application of standard logistics analysis to military activities in space is discussed. Consideration is given to space-system segmentation, orbital placement, orbital maneuvers, and space assembly and maintenance options. It is argued that plans for a normalized space infrastructure should consider the total space support requirements and not be based on just the needs of a particular system
