Two spacewalking cosmonauts set up a "Strela," or "Arrow," cargo boom outside the Pirs airlock last November. That telescoping crane can be extended to the rear end of the Zvezda crew module. Mounted to the opposite side of Pirs, the Strela boom installed by Onufrienko and Walz is positioned so that it can be reeled out to the end of the Zarya space tug, which is hooked up to the U.S. side of the station. Both booms are capable of hoisting cargoes that weigh as much as three tons. They can be operated either separately or simultaneously to move cargoes or spacewalkers around the outer hull of the Russian half of the outpost.

OBS

The term "Arrow" is the English equivalent of "Strela".

OBS

Strela cargo boom: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).
