Planned and possible future experiments that may be conducted on Space Shuttle missions of the mid and later 1980s are discussed. Remote sensing experiments will be performed on Shuttle missions STS-7, STS-9, STS-11, and STS-17, and will conduct surveys using the Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Scanner, a multispectral linear array imager; a high-resolution metric photographic camera; the Microwave Remote Sensing experiment, with capabilities for passive and active operation as an X-band radiometer, scatterometer or synthetic aperture radar; the Large Format Camera, a high-resolution photogrammetric camera with forward motion compensation; and the four experiments of the OSTA-3 payload: Shuttle Imaging Radar-B, the Measurement of Air Pollution from Space experiment, the Feature Identification and Location Experiment, and the Large Format Camera. Conceptual plans for experiments that may be conducted in the latter part of the decade include a high spectral resolution imaging sensor, multispectral radar surveys, and multispectral measurements in the thermal infrared.
