| Description | The Small Self-Contained Payloads (SCCP) program, commonly known as the Get Away Special (GAS) is discussed. The program allows a person to place a small self-contained experimental payload on the Space Shuttle at a very low cost. The payloads must be of peaceful intent and an engineering and/or science endeavor. The prime objective of the GAS program is to foster enthusiasm in the younger generation in the use of space. The paper presents the history of the program, its interaction with the educational/industrial relationship, some educational objectives, and predictions for the future. |
