This paper summarizes the results of the study for Geostationary Space Platform (GSP) performed in the study on "Rendezvous Docking Technology". The purpose of this study is to seek for a feasibility not with individual satellites but with a unified one i.e., GSP, to meet the mission needs in 1990s. GSP is multi-purpose satellite. This study includes the prediction of eomaunication needs in 1990s, concept of GSP, a construction method of GSP, and the design outlines for bus module service module, and teleoperatôr
