The SRMS [Shuttle Remote Manipulator System] is covered over its entire length with a multi-layer insulation thermal blanket system, which provides passive thermal control. This material consists of alternate layers of godized Kapton, Dacron scrim cloth and a Beta cloth outer covering. In extreme cold conditions, thermostatically controlled electric heaters(resistance elements) attached to critical mechanical and electronic hardware can be powered on to maintain a stable operating temperature. 3, record 1, English, - multi%2Dlayer%20insulation%20thermal%20blanket%20system

The GDS [Gas Delivery System] is a 4-PU passive drawer. There are no rack data or power connections. The drawer will contain a Dapco-sealed Minicel foam block wrapped in beta cloth capable of storing up to five bottles of calibration and/or respiratory gas mixtures. The drawer includes 2 Lexan plates that will be attached to the internal surface of the drawer side panels. The Lexan plates will center the foam block in the drawer and have grooves that allow the bottle retention plate(guillotine) to slide in perpendicular to the Lexan plates in 2 locations. The guillotine is placed in front of the bottles for launch and landing and placed behind the bottles for operation. 1, record 7, English, - passive%20drawer
