The Design and Implementation of the Military Applications of Shiptracks Experiment on Space Transportation System - 65.

Abstract

A detailed discussion is presented on the design, documentation participants, mission conduct, and payload support involved in the MAST experiment onboard the STS-65 mission. A comparison is shown between the high resolution imagery obtained from the MAST experiment and current weather imagery from NOAA satellites. Recommendations are made for further MAST payloads on future Space Shuttle flights.
