The Goddard Space Flight Center, Special Payloads Division (sounding rockets) experience in applying rocket mechanical experience and technology to the Shuttle is presented. While the mechanical design loads are similar, new considerations for thermal extremes, material control and attachment structures must be included. These additional requirements have been successfully introduced in the free flyer class of payloads, Shuttle Pointed Automonous Research Tool for Astronomy (SPARTAN), and a motorized door for the Get Away Special (GAS) payloads.
