S0 truss S0 truss steel mount structure connecting to the US lab. The S0 truss, (also called the Center Integrated Truss Assembly Starboard 0 Truss) forms the central backbone of the Space Station. It was attached on the top of the Destiny Laboratory Module during STS-110 in April 2002. S0 is used to route power to the pressurized station ...
STS-110 also delivered the Mobile Transporter (MT), which is an 885 kilograms (1,951 lb) (1,950 lb) assembly that glides down rails on the station integrated trusses. The MT was designed and manufactured by Astro Aerospace in Carpinteria, CA.
English: 97-17421 (December 10, 1997) --- An aluminum bulkhead of the center truss segment test article for the International Space Station completes machining at Boeing facilities in Huntington Beach, California, in October 1997. The bulkheads are coupled with longerons to make up the 43-foot-long center truss segment, designated the S0 truss ...
The ISS, when completed, will consist of a set of communicating pressurized modules connected to a truss, on which four large pairs of photovoltaic modules (solar panels) are attached. The pressurized modules and the truss are perpendicular: the truss spanning from starboard to port and the habitable zone extending on the aft-forward axis
The S0 truss was delivered to the ISS on STS-110, [21] with the S1 segment following on STS-112. [22] The P1 segment of the truss was brought to the ISS by STS-113, [23] followed by the P3/P4 segment on STS-115, [24] and the P5 segment on STS-116. [25] The S3/S4 truss segment was delivered by STS-117, [26] followed by the S5 segment STS-118. [27]
Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) weight 600 lb × 4 units on Z1 Truss (two CMGs have been replaced, one by the STS-114 crew and a second by STS-118 crew). A CMG consists of a single-piece 25-inch diameter, 220-pound stainless steel flywheel that rotates at a constant speed of 6,600 rpm and develops an angular momentum of 3,600 ft-lb-sec (4,880 N ...
The I-bay area S3-S4 Truss being hoist to the payload transfer container. The SSPF's High Bays provide maximum flexibility for manufacturing, assembly, testing and processing payloads and elements destined for space. The bays are enormous cleanrooms equipped with overhead cranes, commodities-servicing equipment and a secure backup-power supply ...
The EATCS is capable of rejecting up to 70 kW, and provides a substantial upgrade in heat rejection capacity from the 14 kW capability of the Early External Active Thermal Control System (EEATCS) via the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS), which was launched on STS-105 and installed onto the P6 Truss. [1]
