Sub-Rack Accommodations and EXPRESS Rack. The accommodations for research on ISS [International Space Station] are designed to give a user the option of using what amount to "central facilities" for conducting their research, or developing their own experimental equipment from scratch.... If no central facility meets a given investigator's requirements, they can consider building "investigation-specific" equipment that is unique to their needs. Such equipment will typically be allocated a sub-portion of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] based on a unit of space called a Mid-deck Locker Equivalent(MLE). This unit has dimensions roughly based on the Space Shuttle's Mid-deck Storage Locker(MDL), which has an internal 0. 06 m³(2. 0 ft³) volume and approximate dimensions of 43. 2 cm(17 in) width x 50. 8 cm(20 in) depth x 25. 4 cm(10 in) height. Equiment that is built around the MLE size-concept is typically referred to as a sub-rack payload.  3, record 1, English, - middeck%20locker%20equivalent

EXPRESS Rack Simulator. The ERS located in the PSC [Payload Support Center] is composed of three racks. The first is the EXPRESS Rack Mock-up, the second is the data acquisition system rack and the third is the water cooling rack. In addition to being able to accommodate payload that would mechanically interface with the 8/2 ER configuration, the rack will also accommodate different size ISIS drawers. There is a possibility that one of the CSA payloads will use a 12-PU drawer. For this reason the configuration of the EXPRESS Rack Mock-up was chosen to be 4/6, i. e. 4 MDL [Mid-Deck Storage Locker] and 6 ISIS [International Sub-rack Interface Standard] drawers. Essentially, the CSA rack is the bottom portion of the ER with 4 drawers added on the bottom. This configuration will permit the accommodation of single, double and quad MDL as well as 4-PU, 8-PU and 12-PU ISIS drawers. The ERS has the same mechanical interface and front panel layout than the EXPRESS Rack to provide higher fidelity during training for the ISS crew. This also provides a better verification environment. The ERS provides 28V to the payloads rated at 5, 10, 15 or 20 Amps but does not include the RIC or other ER equipment. This is why a Suitcase Simulator will be used to communicate with the payload in the rack.  1, record 2, English, - EXPRESS%20rack%20simulator

In designing ISS [International Space Station] to accommodate sub-rack payloads it became apparent that several advantages would be obtained if investigators building MLE-based [equipment [Mid-Deck Locker Equivalent-based] were provided with host racks with a standardized set of interfaces. Based on this the EXPRESS rack concept was born. EXPRESS stands for Expedite the PRocessing of Experiments to the Space Station. The purpose of the EXPRESS rack is to allow quick... and simple integration of payloads into the ISS. The EXPRESS Rack contains standard interfaces within an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] configuration to allow payloads quick and standard access to ISS resources. The EXPRESS Rack offers structural support hardware, power conversion and distribution equipment, data and video equipment, nitrogen and vacuum exhaust distribution hardware, and thermal support equipment.  3, record 3, English, - EXPRESS%20rack

The Aquatic Research Facility (ARF) maintains small aquatic species for up to 30 days and aquatic plants for up to 45 days. Biological species are kept in twelve 75 ml chambers, six at 0 g and six at 1 g. An uninterrupted 1 g control is provided. Temperatures and light levels can be adjusted to suit the species and the experiment. Laboratory materials such as chemical markers can be added to any aquarium under computer control during experiments, without disturbing the other aquariums. The ARF allows for automatic fixation. Video monitoring and video micrography are also available.  3, record 4, English, - aquatic%20research%20facility

The Research Facility(ARF) [is] designed to allow all of the functions to be controlled from the ground or by an astronaut, but for the first flight, only astronaut control was used with scientists providing ground support from the control centre. All of this technical capability has been built into a single shuttle mid-deck locker, the size of a suitcase. This is one of the most complex miniature payloads to fly on a space shuttle.  4, record 4, English, - aquatic%20research%20facility

Installation aquatique de recherche (ARF) [...] L'ARF constitue non seulement un laboratoire idéal pour des expériences en milieu aquatique, mais elle est équipée du matériel nécessaire à l'enregistrement en microscopie d'images des sujets étudiés, en conditions d'impesanteur et de pesanteur simulée, sans que les spécimens soient perturbés. La température et les niveaux d'éclairement peuvent être modifiés en fonction de l'espèce et de l'expérience. Mais l'avantage le plus important de l'ARF, c'est qu'il permet de commander par ordinateur l'introduction dans un aquarium particulier des produits nécessaires à une expérience en cours, comme des marqueurs chimiques, sans perturber les expériences réalisées dans les autres aquariums. L'installation est conçue de façon à pouvoir être commandée de la Terre ou par un astronaute en orbite. Cependant, lors du vol inaugural, c'est un astronaute qui a commandé l'ARF, aidé des conseils transmis par les scientifiques depuis le centre de contrôle au sol. Tout ce matériel technique tient dans un seul casier du compartiment intermédiaire de la navette, casier qui n'est guère plus gros qu'un bagage à main. Il s'agit en fait de l'une des mini-charges utiles les plus complexes à voyager à bord de la navette  3, record 4, French, - unit%C3%A9%20aquatique%20de%20recherche
