SPACE R&T STRATEGY
REVITALIZE TECHNOLOGY FOR LOW EARTH ORBIT
APPLICATIONS
t_
DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY FOR EXPLORATION OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM
MAINTAIN FUNDAMENTAL R&T BASE
BROADEN PARTICIPATION OF UNIVERSITIES
D TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT TO IN-SPACE 1IMENTATION
FACILITATE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TO USERS
IN-SPACE EXPERIMENTS IN OAST
IN-SPACE EXPERIMENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF OAST'S
PROGRAM
¢.,,O
CO
- TO OBTAIN DATA THAT CAN NOT BE ACQUIRED ON THE GROUND
- TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF CERTAIN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
CONDUCTING TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENTSS IN SPACE IS A
VALUABLEE AND COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO INTRODUCE
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTO FLIGHT PROGRAMS
THE SHUTTLE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE FEASIBILITY AND
TIMELY BENEFITS OF CONDUCTING HANDS-ON EXPERIMENTS
IN SPACE
SPACE STATION WILL BE A PERMANENT LABORATORY IN SPACE
AND WILL PROVIDE LOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY EXTENSION
OF GROUND BASED R&T IN SPACE

IN-SPACE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENTS PROGRAM
E,o
• NASA EXPERIMENTS
- ARISE FROM THE R&T BASE OR FOCUSED PROGRAMS
- INCLUDE PRESENTLY ONGOING EXPERIMENTS
• INDUSTRY/UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTS
- FOLLOWING THROUGH ON OUR COMMITMENTS IN THE
OUT-REACH PROGRAM
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIMENTS
- COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES WITH OUR ALLIES
INSTEP 88-010
NASA IN-SPACE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENTS
EXPERIMENTS CONTINUALLY ARISING
AS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF R&T BASE AND
FOCUSED PROGRAMS CONDUCTED BY NASA, SUCH AS
- ORBITER EXPERIMENTS PROGRAM (OEX)
- LONG DURATION EXPOSURE FACILITY (LDEF)
- LiDAR IN-SPACE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENT (LITE)
- ARCJET AUXILIARY PROPULSION SYSTEM
SPACE STATION STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION
- AEROBRAKING
- ETC
INSTEP-O03
INDUSTRY/UNIVERSITY IN-SPACE EXPERIMENTS
PROVIDE ACCESS TO SPACE FOR INDUSTRY AND
UNIVERSITIES TO DEVELOP SPACE TECHNOLOGY
- ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE OF AEROSPACE COMMUNITY TO
OUT-REACH SOLICITATION
OAST HAS COMMITTED TO AEROSPACE COMMUNITY
TO SERVE AS CONDUIT FOR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
IN SPACE
- PERIODIC RESOLICITATIONS TO INDUSTRY/UNIVERSITY
COMMUNITY FOR EXPERIMENT DEFINITION, DEVELOPMENT,
AND FLIGHT

IINSTEP 88-005
IN-SPACE EXPERIMENTS INITIATIVE - PHASE I
• FLIGHT OPPORTUNITY RESTORED
INITIATE MORE VIGOROUS PROGRAM ON SHUTTLE
AND ELVs
p.-,
O - OBTAIN DATA THAT CAN NOT BE OBTAINED ON THE GROUND
- VALIDATE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES FOR EARLY
USE IN FLIGHT PROJECTS
• GET A RUNNING START ON SPACE STATION
- GEAR UP NASA, INDUSTRY, UNIVERSITY ACTIVITY
- CONDUCT SPACE STATION PRECURSOR EXPERIMENTS
INSTEP 88-027
IN-SPACE EXPERIMENTS INITIATIVE - PHASE II
ROUTINE OPERATIONS IN LOW EARTH ORBIT WILL INITIATE
ERA OF BOLD NEW INITIATIVES
- NEED FOR TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS FOR ENABLING
TECHNOLOGIES WILL INCREASE
- THE RANGE OF TECHNOLOGIES TO BE DEMONSTRATED
IN SPACE WILL INCREASE
- SPACE STATION WILL PROVIDE THE FACILITY FOR SIMPLER,
FASTER ACCESS TO SPACE
- SPACE STATION WILL ENABLE EXPERIMENTS NEEDING LONG-TERM
HUMAN INTERACTION
EXPERIMENTS PLANNED AND DEFINED FOR SPACE STATION
DURING PHASE I WILL ENTER HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT STAGE
INSTEP 88-025
SUMMARY
• TECHNICAL NEED IDENTIFIED 1983
• PLANNING COMPLETE 1983-86
• COMMITMENTS MADE 1986-88
- INDUSTRY / UNIVERSITIES (VIA OUT-REACH)
- CENTERS (VIA IN-REACH)
- INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
• OPPORTUNITY FOR SPACE FLIGHT RESTORED
- SHUTTLE, ELV MANIFESTING
- SPACE STATION PLANNING
