The Payload Operations Control Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center is a NASA facility for monitoring, coordinating and controlling on-orbit operations of Spacelab payloads. It is also used for premission test and training activities. The Payload Operations Control Center allows users on the ground to support and interact with onboard mission activities and permits direct communication between the investigator on the ground and flight crew on orbit. It provides ground command capability to operate experiments, manage payload resources and operate payload support equipment. Its facilities and services for instrument monitoring and control are made available to all users who request them. Each user area has a standard set of support equipment and space for special instrument-dedicated ground support equipment. A communication link can be arranged to allow the investigator to perform some or all operations from his own institution. 2, record 1, English, - Payload%20Operations%20Control%20Center

Each NASA ISPR provides 1. 6 m³(55. 5ft³) of internal volume. The rack weighs 104 kg(230 lbm) and can accommodate an additional 700 kg(1543 lbm) of payload equipment. The rack has internal mounting provisions to allow attachment of secondary structure. The ISPRs will be outfitted with a thin center post to accommodate sub-rack-sized payloads, such as the 48. 3 cm(19 in) Spacelab Standard Interface Rack(SIR) Drawer or the Space Shuttle Middeck Locker. Utility pass-through ports are located on each side to allow cables to be run between racks. Module attachment points are provided at the top of the rack, and via pivot points at the bottom of the rack. The pivot points support installation and maintenance. Tracks on the exterior front posts allow mounting of payload equipment and laptop computers. Additional adapters on the ISPRs are provided for ground handling. 3, record 2, English, - international%20standard%20payload%20rack

Ces bâtis, qui constituent une évolution technologique majeure, sont dénommés ISPR, pour «International Standard Payload Rack». ... Du fait que les modules européen, américain et japonais utilisent le même concept d'ISPR, les bâtis sont interchangeables entre les laboratoires, à l'exception des laboratoires russes qui n'ont pas adopté ce standard. Le [Columbus Orbital Facility] COF peut recevoir simultanément dix bâtis ISPR de type scientifique comportant divers instruments et expériences ainsi que trois bâtis de stockage d'équipements. La capacité de chaque bâti est de 1,5m³ pour une charge maximale de 700 kg. 5, record 2, French, - b%C3%A2ti%20de%20charge%20utile%20normalis%C3%A9
