Abstract: This report addresses anticipated servicing requirements for orbital maintenance considering ground support operations, centralized depot concept, logistics module utilization/servicing/maintenance/integration and orbital docking and servicing. Anticipated costs to sustain orbital maintenance, servicing, and support of future free flyers and the space station leads to a conclusion that optimum support with reduced support costs can best be achieved by standardization and centralization of support facilities. The centralized depot concept and logistics module utilization described herein provides a scenario to achieve the supportability goals and reduce the overall satellite servicing costs*
