The initial automatic SL-Pallet concepts for material sciences (Automatic Space Processing Pallet Equipment = ASPE) were studied. Typical experiments and available equipment from which the performance limits and the basic equipment are derived were investigated. One reference payload for a shuttle flight was investigated for accomodation. For this payload, a preferred overall concept was established. Planning and cost estimation for development, manufacturing and integration of the experiment facilities, and a cost estimation (total and proportionate) for a reference mission were performed.
