3 DoD Space Test Program (STP)
• Chartered by OSD in 1965 • First flight in 1967 • Primary provider of mission design, SC acquisition, integration, launch, and on-orbit ops for DoD space experiments, technologies & demos • All spaceflight services except the experiment itself • Single manager of all DoD payloads on the Space Shuttle and ISS • Since 2004 designated the Auxiliary Payload “front door” for AFSPC • Payload and SC
4 How do you access STP services
• Space Experiments Review Board (SERB) • Need DoD Sponsor • Vetted and Ranked • STP can spend money for space access
• Reimbursable • Customer brings all the money • STP provides expertise Reprinted courtesy of USAF • Helps if you have government connection • We are willing to work to make the mission happen • Find other partners to off set cost
• Call us Reprinted courtesy of NASA • STP can advise and walk you through the process
5 STP Spaceflight Methods
• Shuttle/International Space Station (ISS) • Deployable, payload bay, mid-deck lockers, ISS internal/external • Auxiliaries • Piggybacks payloads: leverage margin on existing SC • Secondary SC: leverage margin on existing LV • Dedicated Launches • STP managed SC that are launched by a dedicated LV • Also high-altitude balloons, sub-orbital sounding rockets, and zero-g flights

23 Summary
• STP has a long history of creating collaborative missions and providing access to space for experiments. • Experiments can come to STP either via the SERB for a subsidized flight or as a reimbursable. • Personnel at STP are experienced and well versed at developing creative and cost effective missions designed to maximize all government or customer resources.
