The US segment Airlock was developed to have a large airlock and EVA stowage space for the ISS. The US Airlock can accommodate US EMU's and Russian Orlan-M spacesuits. The Airlock consisted of three major components, the airlock itself which was very similar to the Space Shuttle airlock, the equipment bay which was a short section of module of equal diameter to other US modules, and external air tanks which could be replaced periodically to provide air for the airlock to operate.
