Engineering support given to ESA in the task of assembling model Specelab payloads suitable for the demonstration mission series is described in a six volume report. This volume describes a Spacelab mission designed to exploit the low gravity mode of operation in the early European Utilization Program. The prime disciplines to be given a flight opportunity are the material and life sciences. The factor to be exploited is the longer duration available for experimentation. Crystal growth studies as well as crew physiology, sled experiments, biology experiments, particularly plant and animal experiments, will be undertaken. The resources available for such a configuration are summarized and experimental design is discussed in detail.
