Abstract: | The International Space Station (ISS) already serves as a laboratory for experiments in fundamental physics. It could be used for a much wider range of experiments if the operational concept of the ISS will be changed. Operational constraints set limits for the precision level of experiments. Free-flying platforms with high precision attitude and orbit control (drag-free control) could co-orbit with the ISS and improve the experimental conditions. The paper summarizes the main constraints and discusses concepts for improvement. |
