It is pointed out that NASA is developing a new way to get payloads into orbit in a short time and at a low cost. The 'Spacelab Hitchhiker' is the carrier program which will accomplish this objective. The Spacelab Hitchhiker carrier is a Shuttle payload. The primary application of the considered program will be related to science and technology payloads. Attention is given to the Hitchhiker concept, details regarding the Hitchhiker-G and Hitchhiker-M, aspects of integration and operations, Orbiter resources and STS interfaces, the conduction of Hitchhiker flights as 'flights of opportunity', questions of payload selection, and organizational interfaces.
