Special considerations in the planning of Space Shuttle missions for multidiscipline applications are summarized. Selection of orbits and launch times, the optimum operations schedule and viewing opportunities for a given mission are discussed. Trade-offs between the limitations of a mission-peculiar sensor mount and time requirements for sensor retraction/deployment operations in the planning of the payload mounting design are considered. It is suggested that payloads which are largely automated or whose operation is not orbit-time sensitive be considered as possible 'fill-ins' between opportunity-constrained operations. Sequential scheduling of payload operations and delayed real-time data transmission may be means of avoiding RF interference between payloads and with Orbiter communications links, and of maintaining resource demands within manageable levels.
