CONT

The Orbiter middeck provides crew accommodations and contains three avionics equipment bays. Modular stowage lockers are used to store the flight crew's personal gear, mission-required equipment, and experiments. There are 42 identical lockers, which are 11 X 18 X 21 inches. An experiment is either designed to fit inside a locker or replace one or more lockers. Individual microgravity science experiments are flown on a space-available basis in the Orbiter middeck. Few support services are available and, in general, mission parameters are not established by experiments in the middeck.

CONT

.. LAST™ armour is a unique armour system for use on aircraft and ground vehicles. It's lightweight, rapidly deployable, field installable and battle proven. LAST armour can be tailored to defeat specific threats, including small arms fire, heavy machine gun armour piercing rounds, 30 mm automatic cannon fire and improvised explosive devices. A major feature that differentiates LAST armour from conventional armour solutions is its unique high-strength hook-and-loop fastening system. Benefits are : LAST Armour can be installed in the field by the crew without the need for cutting, welding, drilling or other specialised equipment; It is applicable to both soft-skinned and armoured platforms which require upgraded protection; Modular kits can be readily moved between platforms and can typically be transferred within one hour; The modular design allows straightforward repair of battle damage; The hook-and-loop technology minimises the need for metallic fixings that could contribute to the spall threat.

OBS

LAST: light-appliqué armour systems technology.

OBS

LAST armour; LAST armor: The acronym "LAST" is followed by the letters "TM" in superscript.

CHAMPS is a modular microgravity research furnace developed for the National Research Council' s Space Division. It was flown in a Get-Away-Special(GAS) container aboard the space shuttle STS-67 in June 1993 to investigate GaAs [gallium arsenide] crystal growth by liquid phase electroepitaxy(LPEE). Combining the advantages of both dedicated and generic experimental facilities, CHAMPS allows investigators to specify their own experimental configuration while at the same time providing them with generic peripherals. Configurable hardware included thermal and gradient furnace, levitator, etc., while generic peripherals included control and data acquisition, thermal insulation, and ground support equipment.

Usachev and Voss moved a docking cone from storage and installed it in the lower port hatch during the 19-minute procedure, which lasted half as long as expected. The move was required before the Zvezda module can mate with a Russian docking module, which is expected to arrive in August or September. Later on, the docking equipment will help connect a Russian science lab to the modular complex, which resembles a string of giant tin cans linked together like sausages.

The Stowage hardware consists of stowage racks, stowage lockers, stowage trays, Aisle Stowage Containers (ASCs), Resupply Stowage Platforms (RSPs), and soft stowage bags. Stowage racks consist of a rack structure, a stowage locker structure and stowage trays ... The locker structure transfers the launch and landing loads to the rack structure (rather than having the trays take the loads). Like the trays, the lockers have different heights and lengths. The sizes are such that a triple high, 34-inch long locker can accommodate different combinations of trays: a triple-high, 34-inch long tray; or 3 single-high, 34-inch long trays; or 1 double-high, 34-inch long tray and 1 single-high, 34-inch long tray; or 6 single-high, 17-inch long trays; etc.
