Welcome to 'ENVIRONET' - A user friendly environment data base for the Shuttle

NASA recognized the need for a user-friendly, computer-based, payload-bay environment data base for potential users of the Shuttle. This led to the establishment of a working group made up of members from NASA, ESA, industry, and academia. The working group is chartered to establish a user-friendly data base with accessibility for all potential Shuttle users. The purpose of the data base is to aid users in understanding the Shuttle environments encountered during the various Shuttle mission phases. Spacelab and other carriers are included in the data base. The organizational structure, background, and an introductory description of the data base are presented.
