Space Technology Experiments Platform (STEP) overview
Abstract
The Space Technology Experiments Platform (STEP) concept is summarized. It is shown that STEP is the enabling link between the research community and the space environment made accessible by the Space Transportation System (STS). The constituent elements of the research community are identified, the pertinent space environment attributes are listed, and the major guidelines applicable to establishing the specific STEP configuration are identified.
