Payload impact of space shuttle and tug
The advantages offered by space shuttle and tug for space operations are summarized. Economical transportation to a space station and operations in orbit; frequent sorties, with flexible scheduling, for experiment missions; and an economical and flexible replacement for conventional launchers are discussed. These advantages include many potential benefits for payload design, construction, and use.

Study of payload sensor contamination
Epoxy/glass test specimens representing Scout fourth and fifth stage motor casings were prepared and studied in a test program designed to determine the relative contamination contributed to payload sensors located near the motor casings. The relative contamination detected in the test program was dependent on several factors, including: (1) distance of test specimen to sensor, (2) sensor temperature, (3) geometric position of the sensor (relative to test specimen), (4)test specimen temperature, (5) chemical composition of the test specimen, (6) sensor function, and (7) additional materials (such as adhesive-backed aluminum tape) added to the test specimens. The thermal characteristics and the decomposition and outgassing products were determined. These data were used to better understand the relative contamination data from the remote sensor testing.
