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.

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.
