The space technology experiments to be performed on the Space Station are discussed. The characteristics of the dual keel Station, which contains modules for habitation, logistics, and laboratories, applicable to technology experiments are described. Experiments utilizing the initial Space Station design include: (1) assessing the instrumented Space Station, (2) the testing of spacecraft materials and coatings, and (3) a microelectronics data system experiment; the objectives and procedures for these studies are examined. With increases in the number of modules, and electrical power and OTV capabilities, the evaluation of teleoperated techniques, the development and testing of a diversified antenna near- and far-field measurement facility, the study of cryogenic propellant transfer, and storage, and the implementation of a large concentrator in space are possible; descriptions of these proposed experiments are provided.
