Abstract	Concepts are derived for the packaging of the components of a large Earth sciences geostationary platform to be launched in either the Space Shuttle or the Titan IV Complementary Expendable Launch Vehicle. Geometric data from a proposed conceptual design for the spacecraft, antenna sizing results from thermal and structural finite element analysis, and independent mass and volume estimates are used to determine sizes, shapes, and masses of the major platform components and support equipment. Solid modeling software is utilized to evaluate proposed launch integration schemes in terms of meeting volume and mass constraints, checking for interference between components, verifying that center-of-gravity locations fall within vehicle specifications, and designing suitable interface structures which do not violate any of these constraints. Construction at Space Station Freedom is assumed, and a space-based orbital transfer vehicle is determined to be necessary for inserting the spacecraft, once assembled, into geostationary orbit.
