Space Shuttle users are required to design their payload to the Shuttle loads environment. This loads environment covers mission phases from prelaunch to landing. Transient response loads analyses are required for lift-off and landing events. Other mission events are analyzed statically because they result in payload loads that either change slowly or are lower than lift-off and landing loads. Response data from flight instrumentation located on the orbiter and payloads have been compared to preflight design conditions and to nominal predictions. The results have verified that the design loads envelop flight responses.
