The EXPRESS Rack accommodates payloads compatible with the Space Shuttle middeck, Spacehab, and Standard Interface Rack (SIR) drawers, developed by NASA's Life Sciences division ... The RIC [Rack Interface Controller] provides the communication link between payloads and the Spacelab data system and ground controllers, mimicking the command and control link for the International Space Station. The RIC communicates with payloads via standard data protocols (RS232, RS422) and with the Space Shuttle-provided laptop via Ethernet. The RIC will route the payload data in packets, with headers to identify the payload, and will transmit them through the Spacelab data system just as it will with the Space Station data system.

OBS

rack interface controller; RIC: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).
