The Get Away Special(GAS) Program was initiated by NASA in the mid-seventies to provide a diverse user community with extremely low cost access to space. Since 1982, 157 GAS payloads have flown aboard the STS. In 1998 alone, 16 GAS payloads flew on 5 different STS missions. The GAS carrier consists of a canister(5 ft3) which can accommodate customer equipment in a volume 19. 75 inches in diameter and 28. 25 inches high. The customer equipment can weigh up to 200 lbs. and attaches to the canister top plate. A smaller(2. 5 ft3) canister is also available for 60 and 100 lb. payloads. Electrical connection is via customer supplied cables to the GAS electrical interface on the canister bottom plate. Bumpers on the customer equipment provide lateral support. Provisions are made for insertion of purge gas into the canister and for venting a customer battery box. 3, record 1, English, - get%20away%20special%20payload
