A study of packetization of the Spacelab data handling system, including the alternate approaches considered and the supporting rationale, is described. It is concluded that it is well within today's state of the art in microelectronics to implement either a full or hybrid packet data system on board the Spacelab. Of the two, the hybrid system is preferred because of the significant cost saving.
