The first science and applications payload for the space shuttle was carried on STS-2. The space shuttle's performance and systems were tested. The Shuttle's capability of providing a platform for scientific and applications research was demonstrated. The OSTA-1 payload was selected and developed to demonstrate this secondary objective. The experiments selected for the OSTA-1 payload were concerned with remote sensing of Earth resources, environmental quality, ocean conditions, meteorological phenomena and life sciences. These experiments demonstrated the Shuttle's capability for space research and the potential application of techniques for future remote sensing.
