This paper presents the background and results of a study of future payload technology requirements. The overall objectives of the study were the identification and description of technology items that must be advanced beyond the current state of the art in order for early shuttle-era NASA payloads to meet their currently defined objectives. The purpose was to provide data that will effectively assist the NASA payload technology planning effort. A total of 91 payload technology requirements have been defined in detail with requirements occurring in all disciplines. Included in the description of these technology requirements are the current state-of-the-art, the level of technology advancement required, and the date when the technology will be needed. The highlights of the study are: (1) NASA must provide the major impetus to attain these technology requirements, (2) most of these technologies must be available in 3-4 years, and (3) about half of the technology advancements require a test in space.
