If you want to have people you need to add in a whole lot of life support and additional safety to keep people alive. Robots are easier, since they don't die so easily. If you can get them to work at all, that is.

Life support can be on the shuttle/transport. Or it can be its own hab… space office ? Space workshop ?

  • What about food, water and air filtration needs?

    • Presumably those needs are handled on the habitat where the orbital maintenance team lives when they aren’t visiting satellite data centers.

      Treat each maintenance trip like an EVA (extra vehicular activity) and bring your life support with you.
