CONT

The second and third Materials Science Research Rack (MSRR-2 and MSRR-3) configurations will be derived from ongoing science reference experiment and follow-on rack architectural and accommodation tradeoff studies. The rack designs will optimize flexibility for on-orbit maintenance and change out of key components. The MSRR-2 will be designed to accommodate the focus of currently planned and foreseeable materials science investigations through the use of a variety of on-orbit replaceable, investigation class EMs.

CONT

The initial MSRF concept is three Materials Science Research Racks(MSRR-1, MSRR-2, MSRR-3) which will developed for a phased deployment beginning on UF-3 in September, 2001. Concepts for the required Experiment Modules which satisfy the goals and objectives of the Materials Science program, are being developed. It is anticipated that the useful life of each rack will be from a minimum of five(5) to up to ten(10) years. The operational life of the Experiment Modules(EM) is planned for a minimum of five(5) years. The Ems will be designed to be serviceable and maintainable on orbit for their operational duration to satisfy the peer-selected scientific flight investigations. Flexibility is to be included in the design for ORU [Orbital Replaceable Unit] replacement of key components in order to extend useful life. The Experiment Modules for each rack will be designed to be "smart" furnaces with the avionics packages designed to support each investigation. The Experiment Modules for MSRR-2 and MSRR-3 will be designed with optimum flexibility to support on-orbit maintenance and change out of key components.

The Materials Science Research Facility(MSRF) is a facility to accommodate the current and evolving cadre of peer-reviewed Materials Science investigations which include solidification of metals and alloys, thermophysical properties, polymers, crystal growth studies of semiconductor materials, and research in ceramics and glasses.... The MSRF consists of three modular autonomous Materials Science Research Racks(MSRR-1, MSRR-2, MSRR-3) which will be deployed in phases and will accommodate materials processing furnaces and common subsystems and interfaces required to operate the furnaces. Each MSRR is a stand-alone rack that will use ARIS [Active Rack Isolation System]. Each will be comprised of either on-orbit replaceable Experiment Modules(EMs), Modules Inserts(MIs), Investigation-unique Apparatus, and/or Multi-used generic processing apparatus, and will support a wide variety of scientific investigations.

CONT

Destiny’s first major science facilities will include the Human Research Facility; ...the Fluids and Combustion Facility; ... the Biotechnology Facility; ...the Materials Science Facility; ...and the Optical Window Rack Facility.
