Z-1 TRUSS [2 records]

Record 1 2017-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Now permanently attached to the Zarya control module in space [, ] Unity has six berthing ports, one on each side, one which is already attached to Zarya. [The] Future U. S. station modules and [the] station components will attach to the remaining five ports... Unity is the first of three such connecting modules that will be built for the station. Sometimes referred to as Node 1, the Unity module measures 15 feet in diameter and 18 feet long. Including mating adapters attached at each end as is currently the case in orbit, the overall component measures about 34 feet long... In addition to connecting to Zarya module, Unity eventually will provide attachment points for the U. S. laboratory module [Destiny] ;Node 3 ;an early exterior framework, or truss for the station, called the Z-1 truss ;an airlock ;and a multi-windowed cupola.

[...] le «Node-1», baptisé Unity, est amarré au modula Zarya. «Node» signifie «nœud», il porte bien son nom puisque sa fonction est de réunir différents éléments tout en les interconnectant entre eux et en autorisant le passage d'un module à l'autre. Plus petit que Zarya, Unity n'est n'est pas moins équipé de six éléments d'amarrage qui sont autant de connecteurs. Le laboratoire américain viendra s'amarrer du côté opposé à Zarya, tandis que le sas d'amarrage «supérieur» recevra la base de l'immense poutre à laquelle se fixeront les panneaux solaires principaux. Le sas «inférieur» recevra le «Node-2», nouveau carrefour livrant passage vers le module d'habitation et un vaisseau de sauvetage. Les sas latéraux recevront, eux, un sas de sortie pour les activités extra-véhiculaires et une coupole d'observation.

... the installation of two electrical current converters on the new Z-1 structure and the manipulation of a docking latch... will prepare the station for the... the first solar-powered electrical generator. Once the Endeavour crew attaches the 17-ton power module to the top of the new Z-1 truss, it will unfurl 240 foot long solar arrays. Sunlight gathered by the arrays will convert sunlight into electricity for future American station components. Much of the power from those solar arrays will be routed to a future American research module.
