The US segment Airlock was developed to have a large airlock and EVA stowage space for the ISS. The US Airlock can accommodate US EMU's and Russian Orlan-M spacesuits. The Airlock consisted of three major components, the airlock itself which was very similar to the Space Shuttle airlock, the equipment bay which was a short section of module of equal diameter to other US modules, and external air tanks which could be replaced periodically to provide air for the airlock to operate. 1, record 1, English, - external%20air%20tank
