Payload power level requirements and their general impact on the baseline and growth versions of the 25 kW power module during the 1983 to 1990 period are discussed. Extended duration Orbiter sortie flight, supported by a power module, with increased payload power requirements per flight, and free-flyer payload missions are included. Other payload disciplines considered, but not emphasized for the 1983 to 1986 period include astrophysics/astronomy, earth observations, solar power satellite, and life sciences. Of these, only the solar power satellite is a prime driver for the power module.
