Abstract
In an attempt to provide a framework for the systematic development of crew stations for the military spacecraft of the next decade, the operational and supporting military objectives which might be assigned to such vehicles and the human and technological resources anticipated for the era in question are subjected to analysis. Six elements of space travel are distinguished, and three concrete missions are synthesized of the six elements. It is concluded that it would be a conservative decision to focus the crew station development effort on the needs of an earth-orbit ferry.
