The window Observational Research Facility Block 2 ... WORF-2 is an internal ISS [International Space Station] equipment designed to be assembled inside a standardized ISS EXPRESS Rack. This rack will be positioned over the Earth facing a window in the U.S. Lab and will accommodate Earth observation payloads. The WORF-2 will fully support these payloads by providing structural, thermal, conditioning, power supply and data transfer. It will have a 10 years operational life on board the ISS and be fully compatible with the crew intra-vehicular activities.

The Window Observational Research Facility (WORF). The WORF will provide a stable platform such that the full capacity of the U.S. Laboratory window (the highest optical quality window ever flown on an inhabited spacecraft) can be utilized. The WORF will provide payload support infrastructure including mounting hardware, power, cooling, and access to the ISS [International Space Station] data system. The WORF will provide protection for the interior of the Lab window and control stray light exchange between the Lab interior and the external Station environment. The WORF will be economically based upon structures and electronics already designed and certified for operation onboard the ISS and will allow easy periodic upgrade and changeout of support subsystems. WORF computer interfaces will maximize commonality with ISS command and data handling systems.
