A reusable free-flying vehicle built by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm which can be deployed and retrieved by the Space Shuttle's Remote Manipulator System(RMS). The original SPAS, with materials processing and SDI("Star Wars")-related sensor payloads, was carried on three missions but not deployed on the second of these because of an electrical problem with the RMS. ORFEUS(Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer), was a German astronomical payload that flew twice aboard SPAS. The main instrument was a 1-meter telescope with extreme ultraviolet and far ultraviolet spectrometers of high spectral resolution.  3, record 1, English, - shuttle%20pallet%20satellite

Any equipment or cargo carried by a spacecraft or launch vehicle or mounted on an orbiting space platform or space station.  2, record 2, English, - payload

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

In terms of the mass budget, the term payload also includes the crew of a manned spacecraft. For unmanned spacecraft, the term is used to differentiate between equipment concerned directly with the spacecraft’s application (the payload) and that which supports the operation of that payload (the subsystems contained within the service module).  2, record 2, English, - payload

Élément ou ensemble d'éléments que peut transporter un véhicule spatial et qui est destiné à remplir une mission déterminée.  2, record 2, French, - charge%20utile

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

La notion de charge utile varie selon les points de vue; ainsi ce terme peut s'appliquer à un satellite par rapport au lanceur qui le porte, ou bien au bloc expérimental embarqué sur un satellite par rapport à ce satellite. Dans un engin spatial d'observation ou de sondage, la charge utile comporte généralement plusieurs instruments.  2, record 2, French, - charge%20utile

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS

D'un point de vue budgétaire, la charge utile comprend l'équipage d'un véhicule spatial habité. Lorsqu'il s'agit d'un véhicule non habité, le terme désigne alors l'ensemble des équipements nécessaires au fonctionnement du véhicule et de la charge utile elle-même, c'est-à-dire les sous-systèmes du module de service.  3, record 2, French, - charge%20utile
