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. 2, record 1, French, - Spacelab

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. 2, record 2, English, - thermal%20vacuum%20test

The Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section (ELM-ES) is a JEM component which carries experiment payloads, JEM’s Small Fine Arm (SFA) and Exposed Facility (EF) system ORUs [Orbital Replaceable Units]. It will supply devices to and from the EF [Exposed Facility]. This ELM-ES will be carried to orbit by the Space Shuttle where it will be operated after being connected to EF. After ELM-ES is connected to the EF, experiment payloads attached to ELM-ES will be removed and attached to the EF using a manipulator. After experiments are finished, payloads will be removed from the EF by a manipulator and returned to the ELM-ES. Later, they will be brought back to Earth by the Space Shuttle. 5, record 3, English, - experiment%20logistics%20module%20%2D%20exposed%20section

Les charges utiles véhiculées par l'ATV 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. Les charges utiles ne nécessitant pas d'être acheminées dans un module fermé seront montées sur une structure ouverte de type «étagère», comme ce sera le cas pour l'acheminement de réservoirs d'ergols, de gaz ou d'eau. 2, record 9, French, - module%20pressuris%C3%A9%20de%20l%27ATV
