Objectives of the Spacelab programme

The Spacelab programme includes the definition, design, development and construction of mannable pressurised laboratory modules and unpressurised instrument platforms (pallets) suitable for conducting research and application activities on shuttle sortie missions. The laboratory module and the pallet, either separately or together, will be transported to and from earth orbit in the shuttle payload bay and will be attached to and supported by the shuttle orbiter stage throughout the mission. The laboratory module will be characterised by a pressurised (shirt-sleeve) environment, a versatile capability for accommodating laboratory and observatory equipment at minimum cost to users, rapid access for users, and minimum interference with shuttle orbiter ground turnaround operations. The pallet, supporting telescopes, antennas and other instruments and equipment requiring direct space exposure, will normally be attached to the laboratory module with its experiments remotely operated from the laboratory module, but can also be attached directly to the shuttle orbiter and operated from the orbiter cabin. Additional descriptive material of the concept will be included in the Preliminary Project Plan drawn up jointly with NASA.
