The development of payloads for the Shuttle is described in terms of two activities - one is oriented towards development of payload hardware, while the other is oriented towards the development of payload/Space Transportation System (STS) planning, scheduling, and integration techniques. This second activity is called STS Utilization Planning (SUP). In addition to describing the major aspects of SUP, a discussion of development activities on three payloads that typify direct Shuttle placement missions is included. These payloads are the First Spacelab Mission, the Atmospheric, Magnetospheric, and Plasmas in Space (AMPS) payload, and the Large Space Telescope (LST).
