It is seen that a Shuttle laboratory will provide a facility for meeting the continuing need for planning frequency and orbit utilization and specialized radio interference measurements. The Shuttle could be used for placing communications and navigation satellites into the desired orbit, and also for conducting laser communications tests with the aim of developing the required technology and acquisition techniques for space-to-space and space-to-ground telecommunications. Other uses include the proof-testing of large spacecraft antenna structures and their erection mechanisms, and the testing of high-voltage high-current communications satellite components and subsystems.
