A preliminary design analysis of a stand alone payload integration device (IVE) is provided that is capable of verifying payload compatibility in form, fit and function with the shuttle orbiter prior to on-line payload/orbiter operations. The IVE is a high fidelity replica of the orbiter payload accommodations capable of supporting payload functional checkout and mission simulation. A top level payload integration analysis developed detailed functional flow block diagrams of the payload integration process for the broad spectrum of P/L's and identified degree of orbiter data required by the payload user and potential applications of the IVE.
