This paper summarizes the highlights of the NASA/MSFC Life Sciences Payload Definition and Integration studies. Four closely related studies describing research requirements, engineering analysis, and design concepts for a family of life sciences laboratories are reviewed. The study approach was based upon a broad laboratory capability to do research in medicine, biology, life support and protective systems, and man-systems integration. This laboratory design concept provides the flexibility desired for the changing requirements of a long-term space program. Designs of the resulting conceptual laboratories that satisfy the research goals are presented. The on-going NASA program activity to support future life sciences involvement in the Spacelab is outlined.
