The main characteristics of the Spacelab system are described. Sufficient information on Spacelab capabilities is provided to enable individual experimenters or payload planning groups to determine how their payload equipment can be accomodated by Spacelab topics discussed include major spacelab/experiment interfaces; Spacelab payload support systems and requirements the experiments must comply with to allow experiment design; and development and integration up to a level where a group of individual experiments are integrated into a complete Spacelab payload using Spacelab racks/floors and pallet segments. Integration of a complete Spacelab payload with Spacelab subsystems, primary module structure etc., integration of Spacelab with the Orbiter and basic operational aspects are also covered in this preliminary edition of the handbook which reflects the current Spacelab baseline design and is for information only.
