Scientific paper

Some examples are presented of the possible areas of scientific research for the Space Station. Attention is given to the unique advantages presented by the space environment for the observation of deep space objects. A configuration for a VLA radiotelescope is presented which would permit an astronomical resolution of about 10 to the -6th arcsec. Several other devices currently under development are described, including a Gamma Ray Observatory for the Shuttle, a Coded Mask telescope, and the Gravity Probe B experiment which would measure the effect of curved space-time around the earth on the orbital motion of two ultraprecise gyroscopes in order to test Einstein's general theory of relativity.
