With the shuttle program coming to an end soon I thought it might be worthwhile looking through the NTRS and seeing what unflown Spacelab payloads I could find as these would make interesting addons to the stock Atlantis/Shuttle Fleet/SSU.
This is the first, a UV/Optical telescope designed to be mounted on two Spacelab pallets.
See:
1. Report of the facility definition team spacelab UV optical telescope facility
2. Astrophysics Near-Term Program. Project Concept Study: Starlab
Earlier I had linked documentation another early Spacelab payload to the forum, it can be found at:
Early Spacelab materials processing Kit
As more information is found it will be added to the thread in additional posts.
