The interfaces which shall be provided by the baseline shuttle mid-deck for payload use within the mid-deck area are defined, as well as all constraints which shall be observed by all the users of the defined interfaces. Commonality was established with respect to analytical approaches, analytical models, technical data and definitions for integrated analyses by all the interfacing parties. Any payload interfaces that are out of scope with the standard interfaces defined shall be defined in a Payload Unique Interface Control Document (ICD) for a given payload. Each Payload Unique ICD will have comparable paragraphs to this ICD and will have a corresponding notation of A, for applicable; N/A, for not applicable; N, for note added for explanation; and E, for exception. On any flight, the STS reserves the right to assign locations to both payloads mounted on an adapter plate(s) and payloads stored within standard lockers. Specific locations requests and/or requirements exceeding standard mid-deck payload requirements may result in a reduction in manifesting opportunities.
