SLD Trade Study Canister/STS Mounting.
Abstract
The canister described in this document is a 14 ft. diameter by 14 ft. long cylindrical shroud which provides environmental protection and a stable support configuration for the SLD and payload structures. It mounts in the shuttle bay using the standard five point mount. To accommodate SLD separation the canister rotates a maximum of 45 deg. to clear all envelope constraints. The canister and all its supporting equipment is reusable on subsequent shuttle launches.
