Description

As the Space Transportation System (STS) transitions to a fully operational system, the opportunities for flying new astrophysics missions in the late eighties and early nineties have greatly increased. Current NASA studies include the analysis of Space Platforms and Space Stations which could become operational systems in the nineties. The Space Shuttle gives the scientific community the capability to fly new astrophysics missions, obtain valuable scientific data, and provide payloads that can transition to Space Platforms and Space Stations. The purpose of this paper is to describe some scientific payloads that are being studied by NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) . Emphasis will be placed, on showing how these scientific payloads can utilize the Space Shuttle, obtain new data, and through evolution form the nucleus for new astrophysics missions on, a Space Platform or Space Station.
