The Space Shuttle launched Spacelab is planned to provide the communications community with a platform to develop the technology required for NASA's and DOD's missions, and future domestic and international communications satellites in the 1980s. The Laboratory, with a weight carrying capability of 14,500 kg into a low-earth orbit and return to earth, is being planned to carry laser telescopes; large (greater-than 10 meter) deployable antennas; spaceborne receivers to map terrestrial noise sources in a variety of frequency bands, and other advanced technology applicable to the 1980s and 1990s. Spacelab will also facilitate ease of comparative testing between alternative or competing experiments, subsystems and components prior to a commitment to an automated satellite.
