a It was estimated in the FY 1976 budget estimate that $4 500 000 would be programmed for Shuttle experiment definition in FY 1975; the category was changed in the FY 1977 estimate.

b Includes $1 500 000 for the transition quarter.

c As of the FY 1977 budget estimate, the general category for Shuttle experiment definition was dropped; funds for Shuttle experiments were divided among the various programs.

d Includes $800 000 for environmental quality monitoring Spacelab payload development and $1 200 000 for communications Spacelab payload development.

e Includes $1 000 000 for Earth resources detection and monitoring Shuttle/Spacelab payload development; $800 000 for environmental quality monitoring Shuttle/Spacelab payload development; and $700 000 for communications Shuttle/Spacelab payload development.

f Includes $5 700 000 for Earth resources detection and monitoring experiment for Shuttle/Spacelab; $2 600 000 for environmental quality monitoring experiments for Shuttle/Spacelab; $2 700 000 for weather and climate observations and forecasting experiments for Shuttle/Spacelab; and $2 200 000 for communications experiments for Shuttle/Spacelab.

g Includes $3 620 000 for resources observations Shuttle/Spacelab payload development; $6 040 000 for environmental observations Shuttle/Spacelab payload development; $2 240 000 for applications systems Shuttle/Spacelab mission design and integration; and $1 000 000 for communications Shuttle/Spacelab payload development.
