The advent of the Shuttle will permit small solar sounding rocket class payloads to be used for orbital applications as a sub satellite. Solutions to such problems as thermal protection, deployment and retrieval and Shuttle bay storage will be presented. Adapting sounding rocket hardware such as solar telescopes, solar attitude control systems and data acquisition modules along with extending power and control gas requirements is discussed. This resulting hardware may be used either in a sounding rocket or Shuttle payload. This paper will combine the solar sounding rocket quick reaction, low cost techniques with the Shuttle Transportation System.
