The Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS) system envisages a family of space platforms operating in low earth up to geosynchronous orbits. The building block concept with its flexible structure allows for easy accommodation of a broad variety of instruments like telescopes, antennas, cameras and space processing facilities, etc. Non-standardized power, data-management, tele-communication and attitude control subsystems can be assembled from running production lines requiring a minimum adjustment effort only. Orbit maneuvering can be provided if required. SPAS satellites can be easily retrieved from low earth orbits, thus contributing to reduced life cycle cost for the operating agency. The SPAS concept application to different mission requirements is presented.
