The Department of Defense Space Test Program

For over twenty-five years, the Department of Defense Space Test Program has provided spaceflights for DOD experiment payloads, using almost every kind of booster and satellite in service during that period. This paper discusses briefly the mission and history of STP. The diversity of STP projects is illustrated by descriptions of several current projects. Finally, STP's future plans are discussed.
