Description
This paper presents an overview of the scientific payloads which will be flown aboard the Space Shuttle in the next era of spaceflight operations. In addition, planning for Space Station paylpads is now far enough along for us to identify many of the Space' Stations' major payload initiatives. Those payloads which are currently manifested for flight have their planned launch years noted. The Shuttle payloads may be either deployed from the Shuttle, deployed and retrieved for return to Earth, or they may remain in the payload bay for the entire mission, depending on the individual payload mission research objectives.
