This document outlines procedures for analyzing large space structures assembly via three primary modes: manual, remote and automated. Databases on each of the assembly modes and a general database on the shuttle capabilities to support structures assembly are presented. Task element times and structure assembly component costs are given to provide a basis for determining the comparative economics of assembly alternatives. The lessons learned from simulations of space structures assembly are detailed in Appendix B.
