OBS

Spacelab est un laboratoire à microgravité modulaire placé dans l'espace à bord d'une navette spatiale. Sa structure est un large cylindre situé à l'arrière de la navette et relié à l'espace destiné à l'équipage par un long couloir. Le laboratoire en lui-même a un diamètre de 4,06 m, et chacun des segments une longueur de 2,7 m. Dans la plupart du temps composé de deux segments, le laboratoire atteignait une longueur de 5,4 m.

A thermal vacuum test on the first flight vehicle of the H-II Transfer Vehicle(HTV) has been carried out at the Spacecraft Integration and Test Building at the Tsukuba Space Center. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the thermal design of the structure and to verify its endurance in the harsh environment of space by stimulating the vacuum and thermal environment in space. Thermal vacuum test for the Pressurized Carrier and Unpressurized Carrier have already been completed, and the main part of Avionics Module and Propulsion Module combined is now in the 13-meter diameter space chamber for testing.

The ULC - Unpressurized Logistics Container ... is an external equipment serving as means of transportation and cargo storage for the ISS [International Space Station]. It will have a total operation life of 10 years with intervals of no more than five years in orbit. The unpressurized cargo to be transported on the ULC will use an interface unit called CHIA [Cargo Handling Interface Assembly] whose function is to provide electrical and mechanical interfaces between the cargo and the ULC. Brazil will supply four flight units of this equipment.

Les charges utiles véhiculées par l'ATV [Automatic Transfer Vehicle] se répartissent en deux catégories : celles qui peuvent être exposées au vide spatial et celles qui nécessitent d'être transportées sous atmosphère contrôlée. Dans le premier cas, sa capacité est de 9 tonnes de fret, tandis que dans le second son emport est réduit à 6,7 tonnes. [...] Il est aussi possible de combiner les deux types de charges, pressurisée et non pressurisée, sur un seul ATV.

The following hardware supports the OSCA [ORU Simulator and Carrier Assembly] during launch, landing and on-orbit operations: ... The CHIA [Cargo Handling Interface Assembly] interface plate assembly (CIPA) represents the ORU-unique attachment point to the common cargo subcarrier.

OBS

The CHIA is an external support equipment which provides interfaces between the cargo items and the ULC [Unpressurized Logistic Carrier] in orbit, during the assembly and maintenance operations of the ISS [International Space Station]. Its basic design will interface plates or boxes where cargo items can be accommodated. The CHIAs will provide heating as well as a data bus to verify that the cargo items are in operational conditions and within their safety margins. Brazil will supply a series of CHIAs in quantities and shapes to be defined. They will be fully compatible with external robotics operations(EVR) and with the crew's external vehicular activities(EVA).
