The Spacelab modular design and its operational relationship with the Shuttle, the Spacelab payload, and the ground facilities dictate a particular approach to the ground turnaround in order to achieve the projected mission model. A certain portion of the Spacelab ground operational cycle will be almost totally dependent on the Shuttle turnaround functions. The remainder of the Spacelab ground operational cycle will be spent in the Operations and Checkout Building where the Spacelab-unique facilities and GSE are located. KSC, as the Spacelab operations center, will be responsible for continuing assessment of Spacelab hardware utilization, based on mission requirements and program hardware.
