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.
