Space Station science and applications utilization plan for US users

摘要

The Space Station Science and Applications Utilization Plan defines the management architecture which will be used to facilitate use of the Space Station by federally sponsored science and applications users. The overall set of activities can be segregated into the following four phases: science planning and payload selection; payload development and integration; science tactical and increment planning; and operations and data management. The formulation of specific science plans and strategies will be the responsibility of the OSSA science discipline Divisions: astrophysics; communications and information systems; earth science and applications; life sciences, microgravity science and applications; solar system exploration; and space physics.
