The strategy for accomplishing civilian exploration goals and objectives is in the process of a fundamental shift toward a new approach called “Flexible Path.” In this paper, the authors present a strategically aligned, government-industry partnership focused on the commercial development of Low Earth Orbit to Geostationary Orbit (LEO-to-GEO (LTG)) space over the next quarter century. A LTG satellite-servicing infrastructure and architecture concept is presented along with a brief assessment of the key applicable technologies. The evolution of the communications satellite industry is also discussed within the context of an emerging commercial in-space servicing industry. Large-scale, robotic, LTG satellite servicing is considered an essential economic pre-condition and next parallel or sequential step on the road toward robust, capital intensive human-robotic exploration beyond LEO. Such a step might produce the necessary pre-requisite economic value that can be used by future decision makers to justify further investment in exploration. A high-level implementation plan is offered.

This paper describes the latest advances in electric propulsion systems prepared for the new space exploration activity. Missions to the Moon and Mars will require these new thrusters to convey the huge amounts of provisions that would be expected to help changeless bases on other universes. The new advancements are likewise being utilized for unmanned investigation missions that will go to the furthest reaches of the nearby planetary group. This paper is expected to provide some insight into some ideas for electric propulsion - standards and work skills, as well as a diagram of mission applications that would benefit from these frame drives and their use with state-of-the-art control systems.
