The Payload Support Center (PSC) is being implemented at the CSA [Canadian Space Agency] to conduct payload activities such as communication protocols verification and procedure validation & verification. The PSC will support crew training and mission simulations. The results of the PSC and DFL tests will be used in the final certification of a payload. In addition, the PSC will play an important role during the on-orbit operation of a payload. The payload flight backup unit or engineering model will be installed in the PSC and will be available to help the payload operators in case of any on-orbit problem. By using a duplicate of the payload in the PSC, the operators, with the help of the technical team, will be able to duplicate the situation and determine the proper corrective procedures. Those procedures will then be either forwarded to the on-orbit crew or to the ground operations personnel to correct the anomaly. The PSC includes the EXPRESS Rack Simulator, the Suitcase Simulator (when required), a workbench area for payload developers and a connection to the CSA Payload Telescience Operations Center (PTOC).

The Columbus External Payload Facility (CEPF) is a set of structures added to the starboard end-cone of the Columbus module intended to carry four payload adapters mechanically similar to those used in the NASA ExPRESS Pallet (ExP) programme [RD 2]. Unlike the ExP, the CEPF provides one adapter location that normally points to notional zenith, one oriented to notional nadir, and two to starboard.

OBS

In summary, the CEPF provides suitable interfaces for a small sized remote sensing instrument, either internally pointed/stabilised, or tolerating large excursions around a nominal direction. Large fields of view can be accommodated. The ground track pattern is not optimised for localised studies, nor repeatable on the long term due to altitude variations.

It is also used for premission test and training activities. The Payload Operations Control Center allows users on the ground to support and interact with onboard mission activities and permits direct communication between the investigator on the ground and flight crew on orbit. It provides ground command capability to operate experiments, manage payload resources and operate payload support equipment. Its facilities and services for instrument monitoring and control are made available to all users who request them. Each user area has a standard set of support equipment and space for special instrument-dedicated ground support equipment. A communication link can be arranged to allow the investigator to perform some or all operations from his own institution.

ISS [International Space Station] research accommodations are designed to give the option of using "central facilities" for conducting research, or developing experimental equipment from scratch. If no central facility meets a given investigator's requirements, they can consider building "investigation-specific" equipment that is unique to their needs. Such equipment is typically allocated a sub-portion of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] based on a unit of space called a Mid-deck Locker Equivalent (MLE). This unit has dimensions roughly based on the Space Shuttle's Mid-deck Storage Locker (MDL), which has an internal 0.06 m³ (2.0 ft³) volume and approximate dimensions of 43.2 cm (17 in.) width x 50.8 cm (20 in.) depth x 25.4 cm (10 in.) height.
