The Space Transportation System/Spartan interfaces - An approach for low cost spacecraft
Using the Spartan 101 payload as an example this paper outlines the process of flying a low-cost spacecraft as a customer aboard the Space Shuttle, concentrating on the physical and organizational interfaces to the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). These interfaces fall into four classes, namely, JSC safety, KSC safety, JSC operations and KSC operations.
