The shuttle pallet satellite was a satellite bus designed to be deployed and then retrieved for return to earth on NASA's STS shuttle. It carried a variety of payloads both scientific and military in nature.

It was made by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm and first flew in 1984. It was carried for the first during the STS-7 mission and called SPAS-01 carrying 10 payloads^[1]. It flew again on the STS-39 mission in 1991 called IBSS-SPAS(Infrared Background Signature Survey - Shuttle Palette Satellite) for the DOD testing various ballistic missile detection sensors^[2].

SPAS flew for the third time with the STS-51 mission in 1991 called ORFEUS-SPAS (Orbiting & Retrievable Far & Extreme UV Spectrometer - Shuttle Palette Satellite) with ultraviolet instruments. ORFEUS-SPAS was flown again on the STS-80 mission^[3].

SPAS was flown for the second to last time with the CRISTA-SPAS (Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers & Telescopes for the Atmosphere - Shuttle Palette Satellite) payload on STS-66 in 1994 mounting several infrared sensors looking at the Earths atmosphere, and that payload flew again on STS-85 in 1997^[4] .
