This paper traces the history of the McDonnell Douglas Payload Assist Modules (PAMs), from their inception in the mid-1970s, through their development and commercialization and successful flight history in the 1980s. Results of both the Delta expendable launch vehicle flights, as well as the Space Transportation System (STS) flights are presented. Also discussed are plans for the future, which includes GPS launches by PAM-DII, use of a PAM-S for the Ulysses mission, and potential applications of PAM-DIII and PAM-DIV stages on expendable launch vehicles such as Titan III and Long March CZ2-4L.
