Scientific paper

This paper contains a general description of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Station Payloads Office (SSPO) integration process for International Space Station (ISS) payloads. The end-to-end process described herein covers the strategic, tactical, execute preparation, real-time operations and post-flight phases of payload integration. Challenges that complicate the development of an integration process include the combination of the on-orbit and transportation integration activities, inclusion of the International Partner (IP) launch vehicles and accommodations, and the requirement to integrate these activities across different organizations and field centers. The paper describes the necessary agreements, plans, documents and reviews required to integrate and operate payloads into standard payload locations. It also summarizes the Program boards, panels and points of contact that a Payload Developer (PD) will participate in or interface with during the course of the process. The purpose is to provide potential PDs with an outline of the SSPO processes to deliver payloads to orbit, conduct science experiments on orbit and return them to Earth.
