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). 3, record 2, English, - CHIA%20interface%20plate%20assembly
