The Stowage hardware consists of stowage racks, stowage lockers, stowage trays, Aisle Stowage Containers (ASCs), Resupply Stowage Platforms (RSPs), and soft stowage bags. Stowage racks consist of a rack structure, a stowage locker structure and stowage trays ... The locker structure transfers the launch and landing loads to the rack structure (rather than having the trays take the loads). Like the trays, the lockers have different heights and lengths. The sizes are such that a triple high, 34-inch long locker can accommodate different combinations of trays: a triple-high, 34-inch long tray; or 3 single-high, 34-inch long trays; or 1 double-high, 34-inch long tray and 1 single-high, 34-inch long tray; or 6 single-high, 17-inch long trays; etc. 2, record 3, English, - stowage%20locker
