Freedom 1987
|
1987: Space Station Freedom. Space Station work distribution following the 1987 redesign. As always, considerable political filling and sanding was required since the Lewis and Goddard Spaceflight Center-led Work Packages mostly involved "Dual Keel" elements that now were postponed indefinitely.

Space Station Freedom Baseline. The 1987 baseline configuration. Scientists disliked its reduced capabilities, e.g. the number of attached payloads had been reduced to two from the "Dual Keel's" five berths.

Space Station Freedom Phase Two Growth. The expanded "Dual Keel" Space Station "Freedom" made a final comeback in 1989 when President Bush proposed a Moonbase by 2001-2005 and missions to Mars by 2018.

Space Station Freedom Baseline. Originally, Space Station "Freedom" would only have carried two 37.5KW solar arrays during Phase One. However, Congress quickly insisted on adding two more arrays to generate sufficient power for scientific users.

Space Station Freedom Crew Modules. Outside view of the Boeing Space Station "Freedom" crew modules and nodes. The connecting node modules were expanded in late 1986 and filled with equipment to reduce the need for mounting exterior components. This would hopefully reduce the number of required EVA "spacewalks" for assembly and maintenance.

1988-90: Problems For Space Station Freedom. The Space Station Freedom design was slightly modified in late 1989 after the program's budget again was reduced. For example, the radiators and attitude control thrusters were simplified. NASA also briefly considered replacing the solar panels with solar thermodynamic power generators, which cost less in the long term but would have required another $50-100 million research & development investment.
