Scientific paper

One of the basic purposes of the Science and Applications Space Platform (SASP) is to provide instruments originally developed for Spacelab with an opportunity for much longer on-orbit operating times than is possible on Spacelab. Therefore, a major factor in the SASP design is to maintain the SASP/instrument interface as similar as possible. In this paper each interface area (structures, electric power, etc.) is considered separately and any new analyses of modifications required for adaptation are identified. Any changes that are necessary from an operational standpoint are identified also. The analysis shows that the five instruments investigated, which were originally designed for Spacelab could be adapted for flight on SASP with minor modifications. Two of these could operate only 30 days after each 3 month orbital refurbishment unless somewhat more significant modifications were made. The single instrument investigated which was not originally designed for Spacelab would require extensive modifications.
