Power from the Space Shuttle

The use of the Space Shuttle to provide avionics and electrical power accommodations to a large dedicated payload and/or to multiple smaller payloads throughout the flight is studied. The payload equipment can be mounted in the Shuttle Orbiter aft flight deck and middeck portions of the crew cabins and in the Orbiter cargo bay. The Orbiter provides avionics services to the following major payload classes: the single-section payload, the small payload, the middeck payload, and the Get-Away Special payload.
