The article reviews concepts and experiments to be tested on Shuttle/Spacelab for high-data-rate multiple-terminal and multiple-user communications (deep space and space-ground) and navigation, emphasizing synergistic payloads in which instrumentation and measurements are shared by onboard equipment and experiments. The millimeter-wavelength large antenna, the adaptive multibeam antenna, the electromagnetic (mm wavelength range) environment experiment, and bandwidth compressive modulation, an open-envelope TWT, and the microwave multi-application payload concept are described in detail in terms of concept, components, and performance parameters to be tested.
