Scientific paper
The Orbiter/Spacelab system is regarded as an entity that provides an orbital platform for experiments in a wide variety of scientific and technological fields. The paper presents a brief summary of the Spacelab system and its operation as an introduction to a new tool to be available to an international community of users through the 1980s. Investigations have shown that all the more conventional fields of space research and applications can benefit from the use of Spacelab, such as astronomy, magnetospheric physics, remote sensing, communications, and many others. It is expected that new areas that would gain from using Spacelab will be recognized as its operational life matures. Numerous sketches and photographs supplement the text.
