The objective of this activity is to trade-off different mission architectures for an on orbit manufacturing and refurbishment mission of satellite(s) performed by an on-orbit station(s). This shall be achieved by the definition of the associated system functional analysis and concept of operations (CONOPS), assessing the impact of different levels of autonomy (e.g autonomous robotic capabilities and/or teleoperations), operative orbit (e.g. LEO, MEO, GEO), type of serviced satellites (e.g. constellations, single satellites), services provided, and any other relevant factors.
