Scientific paper

Planning of payloads for future space missions requires that goals and objectives established by the scientific community be transformed into various instruments and equipment which can most effectively gather the scientific data necessary to realize these goals and objectives. The methodology for accomplishing this transformation is discussed, including the specific application of these methods to the development of Spacelab payloads. Several Spacelab payloads currently undergoing preliminary design are described together with their objectives, potential benefits, and the scientific requirements which 'drive' the payload concept and design. The concept for integrating the instruments and equipment into a Spacelab payload is discussed. This integration process is highlighted by describing two classes of Spacelab flights - one where the entire Spacelab is dedicated to a single scientific discipline and the other where the Spacelab is configured to accommodate payloads from several scientific disciplines. A brief description of the engineering approaches to the solution of some of the more interesting design problems is included.
