Astro-Spas

The reusable ASTRO-SPAS space platform is 1.7 meters (5.7 feet) wide and 4.5 meters (15 feet) long --
about the size of the flatbed of a large pickup truck. It was built by Daimler-Benz Aerospace (formerly
Duetsche Aerospace).

ASTRO-SPAS can carry a payload weighing up to 2000 kg (about 2 tons) and is capable of accurately
pointing the science instruments to a precision of a few arcsecs -- an angle that is the same size as a dime
seen from a distance of two miles.
