The paper shows how NASA plans to utilize the Shuttle to carry a wide variety of payloads. Topics covered include: Shuttle Transportation System (STS) description and capabilities, payload integration and manifesting payload business today, and NASA-JSC user services. Consideration is given to the flight assignment process and flight manifest which is a listing of flights with their attendant launch dates, payload names, days on-orbit, altitude, inclination, and crew required. Additional data such as weight, center of gravity, payload-on-orbit capability, and launch windows are checked to see if the manifest is still valid. The STS traffic model is described along with the small self-contained payloads.
