This paper discusses the definition of facilities which will serve the research needs of a large group of users. These facilities (payloads) are derived by several combinations of items from a large inventory of modular, reusable research equipment, enabling us to respond to many flight opportunities. Workable concepts have been laid out and inputted into the Spacelab design activity. These designs permit the flying of either partial or dedicated payloads. Also addressed in this paper are the technical integrity of the modular approach to payload design and integration, and the utility of commercial equipment technology.
