Based on current estimates of Space Shuttle traffic in the 1980's about one third of the flights will utilize Spacelab, a system which will greatly increase the Shuttle's capability for conducting science, applications and technology missions lasting seven to thirty days. Spacelab is the largest international cooperative space program involving the United States to date with nine European countries working through their space agency, ESRO, to design and develop the system to joint U.S./European requirements. Europe will provide all necessary development funding. The U.S. will operate Spacelab and will procure additional Spacelabs as required.
