Abstract: This description relates to an extensible space-based infrastructure platform having modules that can be launched in a stowed configuration, placed in orbit, and then deployed to extend the modules away from each other for an integrated infrastructure platform configuration. This infrastructure platform provides power, timing, communications, data management, attitude control, and other vital and non-vital services to docked payloads. Multiple payloads can be launched into orbit, maneuvered into position, and docked with the space-based services platform. Each docked payload utilizes the infrastructure of the space-based services platform and its interconnected network of docked payloads. Multiple space-based platforms can be docked together to provide a larger space-based infrastructure platform with a broader array of services available to all docked payloads and users.
