Record 3 2003-09-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The following hardware supports the OSCA [ORU Simulator and Carrier Assembly] during launch, landing and on-orbit operations :... The CHIA [Cargo Handling Interface Assembly] interface plate assembly(CIPA) represents the ORU-unique attachment point to the common cargo subcarrier.

OBS

The CHIA is an external support equipment which provides interfaces between the cargo items and the ULC [Unpressurized Logistic Carrier] in orbit, during the assembly and maintenance operations of the ISS [International Space Station]. Its basic design will interface plates or boxes where cargo items can be accommodated. The CHIAs will provide heating as well as a data bus to verify that the cargo items are in operational conditions and within their safety margins. Brazil will supply a series of CHIAs in quantities and shapes to be defined. They will be fully compatible with external robotics operations (EVR) and with the crew’s external vehicular activities (EVA).

OBS

CHIA interface plate assembly; CIPA: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).
