Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Relocate P6 Truss from atop Z1 Truss to final assembly locationattached to P5 Truss (becomes final port-side truss segment).

OBS

The assembly sequence of the trusses on the International Space Station does not usually correspond to the number assigned to each segment of the struss structure. Trusses are numbered as follows: P1, P3, P4, P5, P6 (port side) and S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 (starboard side). In this case, the P6 truss is referred to as the final port-side truss segment.

OBS

final port-side truss segment: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Key term(s)

OBS

La séquence d'assemblage des poutres bâbord (P1, P3, P4, P5, P6) et tribord (S0, S1, S3, S4,S5, S6) de la Station spatiale internationale diffère habituellement de l'ordre de numérotation des segments structuraux de la grande poutrelle. Dans le cas présent, la poutre P6 correspond au dernier segment bâbord de la poutrelle.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The P6 truss ... houses a deployable radiator. Ammonia coolant lines from the U.S. laboratory module ultimately will be connected through the Z1 truss to the radiator to dissipate heat generated by the lab's electronic gear. At launch, P6 weighs 17.5 tons and measures 16-by-16-by 49 feet.

CONT

The P6 truss will connect to Z1 to provide auxiliary power for station construction and primary power to the U.S. laboratory that will be attached to the Unity module early in the launch schedule. When the station is nearly fully assembled, P6 will then be removed from the Z1 truss and placed in its final position on the end of the station's main truss. The rectangular coupling where the P6 segment was attached to Z1 will remain unoccupied.

OBS

The P6 truss is a component of the photovoltaic module.

OBS

CONT

À l'aide du Canadarm, Garneau saisira [...] la poutrelle P6 - une section de la poutrelle principale de la station sur laquelle les panneaux solaires ont été fixés avant le lancement. Garneau amènera ensuite l'ensemble, qui pèse 16 000 kilogrammes et mesure environ 14 mètres de longueur, à quelques centimètres à peine d'une autre section de poutrelle qui fait déjà partie de la station. Appelée Z1, cette section est munie d'un système d'attache en forme de pince qui sera utilisé pour saisir P6 et la maintenir en place.

OBS

La poutre P6 est une des composantes du module photovoltaïque.
