They are selected & trained commercially for specific payloads on certain space shuttle missions
The payload, which is the actual payload, is the part of the rocket that reaches space.
A payload bay is an enclosed section on a spacecraft where equipment, experiments, or other cargo can be stored and transported. It is usually designed to protect the payload from the harsh conditions of space, such as temperature fluctuations and microgravity. Payload bays are common on spacecraft like the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
The payload of a space shuttle typically refers to the cargo or instruments it carries into space, such as satellites, scientific experiments, or supplies for the International Space Station. Payload capacity can vary depending on the specific mission and configuration of the shuttle.

The Canadarm has been used in numerous space flights for NASA, and is one of Canada's most important contributions to space exploration. The Canadarm is mainly used for fixing things on the outside of the space shuttle and handling objects such as payload. Hope this helps:)

Payload
Payload is carried in the Space Shuttle's Payload Bay. The payload bay is situated behind the crew cabin, in the middle of the orbiter. It is 60 ft long and 15 ft wide. The payload bay has two large doors that open once the shuttle reaches orbit. On the inner side of these doors are radiators which help cool the shuttle. Inside the payload bay, there are latches to hold satellites, space station components, experiments, and other objects in place. The payload bay also holds the space shuttle's remote manipulating system (RMS), KU-band antenna, and several cameras and lights. The space shuttle is capable of carrying about 65,000 pounds of cargo in the payload bay.

The Shuttle can also carry a 65,000 payload.
There were nine space shuttle flights in 1987.
