Space shuttle baseline accommodations for payloads

The space shuttle system as it relates to payloads is described. This study provides potential users of the space shuttle with a uniform base of information on the accommodations between the payload and the shuttle. By utilizing this information, preliminary payload planning and design studies can be evaluated and compared against a common set of shuttle/payload accommodations. This information also minimizes the necessity for each payload study to develop information on the shuttle configuration.

Worldwide variations in atmospheric transmission. I - Baseline results from Smithsonian observations.

The spectrobolometer used in the studies is discussed, giving attention to instrument design, the method of recording, and the spectral resolution. The atmospheric transmission for each wavelength was determined by making observations over a range of air masses. The precipitable water vapor values were found from the spectrobolograms by measurement of the depths of water vapor bands at 0.935, 1.13, and 1.47 microns. The results of the studies are discussed together with seasonal variations, long term trends, and the nature of the aerosols.
