The Space Transportation System (STS) is designed to make Space Operations available and economically attractive to many users. This dictates efficient management including documented and controlled interfaces, system capabilities and support services. Toward this end, a series of User Handbooks is presented to describe various elements of the STS (i.e., Orbiter, Spacelab, Upper Stages, etc.). This Handbook describes the basic Launch Site Accommodations available for STS Payload owners (users) at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Florida, and at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) California. The objective of this Handbook is to provide optimum matchup of STS User(s) payload requirements with the available launch site capabilities. The accommodation information is presented to assist and guide STS User(s) in the launch site operational planning. The Handbook, used as a planning tool, should enable efficient and timely integration of all payload requirements into the STS and launch site capabilities.
