Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

Thrust control module. The thrust will be limited to two sources, one in the front and the other on the back of the robot respectively. These gas-powered thrusters will use nitrogen(outside the ISS [International Space Station]) or pressurised air(inside the ISS) and will be designed to last at least some hours of intensive use. The thruster's control will have adaptive "intelligence", for extra speed or weigh situations. This will provide an always secure flight, independent of abnormal robot conditions.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

This truss segment, called "S5", is a mirror image of the P5 truss segment that arrived for processing at Kennedy Space Center in July 2001. The S5 truss segment is a 10-1/2-by-15-foot aluminum structure that will weigh 3, 900 pounds when fully processed. The truss segment will attach to the starboard side of the S4 truss and will be the tenth truss attached to the ISS [International Space Station] as part of a total 11-truss, girder-like structure that will ultimately extend the length of a football field.

CONT

The P5 and S5 segments are merely spacers that will provide enough room for the solar arrays to track the sun and not interfere with the other equipment, for example, the waste-heat radiators and antennas. The waste-heat radiators attached to segments S1 and P1 also must be clear of array movement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Two spacewalking cosmonauts set up a "Strela, "or "Arrow, "cargo boom outside the Pirs airlock last November. That telescoping crane can be extended to the rear end of the Zvezda crew module. Mounted to the opposite side of Pirs, the Strela boom installed by Onufrienko and Walz is positioned so that it can be reeled out to the end of the Zarya space tug, which is hooked up to the U. S. side of the station. Both booms are capable of hoisting cargoes that weigh as much as three tons. They can be operated either separately or simultaneously to move cargoes or spacewalkers around the outer hull of the Russian half of the outpost.

OBS

The term "Arrow" is the English equivalent of "Strela".

OBS

Strela cargo boom: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).
