Autonomous space shuttle [PDF]
2004 IEEE Aerospace Conference Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.04TH8720), 2005 The continued assembly and operation of the International Space Station (ISS) is the cornerstone within NASA's overall strategic plan. As indicated in NASA's Integrated Space Transportation Plan (ISTP), the International Space Station requires shuttle to fly through at least the middle of the next decade to complete assembly of the station, provide ...
