The P6 truss ... houses a deployable radiator. Ammonia coolant lines from the U.S. laboratory module ultimately will be connected through the Z1 truss to the radiator to dissipate heat generated by the lab's electronic gear. At launch, P6 weighs 17.5 tons and measures 16-by-16-by 49 feet.

CONT

The P6 truss will connect to Z1 to provide auxiliary power for station construction and primary power to the U.S. laboratory that will be attached to the Unity module early in the launch schedule. When the station is nearly fully assembled, P6 will then be removed from the Z1 truss and placed in its final position on the end of the station's main truss. The rectangular coupling where the P6 segment was attached to Z1 will remain unoccupied.

OBS

The P6 truss is a component of the photovoltaic module.
