EVA Handrails were developed in the frame of the project for the European Robotic Arm (ERA) to be used on the ISS. The intention behind the development of these handrails was to provide the astronauts with safe handling facilities for their EVAs. The design of the handrails is compliant with the Human Factors Standards. The handrails are adapted for the EVA of astronauts and can therefore be used in every area of manned space. A specialty of the handrails is their ability to compensate thermal expansions of the underground structure [by the use of spacers].

OBS

EVA handrail: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Relocate P6 Truss from atop Z1 Truss to final assembly locationattached to P5 Truss (becomes final port-side truss segment).

OBS

The assembly sequence of the trusses on the International Space Station does not usually correspond to the number assigned to each segment of the struss structure. Trusses are numbered as follows: P1, P3, P4, P5, P6 (port side) and S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 (starboard side). In this case, the P6 truss is referred to as the final port-side truss segment.

OBS

final port-side truss segment: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

La séquence d’assemblage des poutres bâbord(P1, P3, P4, P5, P6) et tribord(S0, S1, S3, S4, S5, S6) de la Station spatiale internationale diffère habituellement de l'ordre de numérotation des segments structuraux de la grande poutrelle. Dans le cas présent, la poutre P6 correspond au dernier segment bâbord de la poutrelle.

OBS

dernier segment bâbord de la poutrelle : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

The Starboard 0 (S0) truss segment is the first major element of the International Space Station's enormous exterior framework. The S0 Truss is 13.4 meters (44 feet) long and 4.6 meters (15 feet) wide and weighs 12,247 kilograms (27,000 pounds). It is the center segment of 11 integrated trusses that will provide the foundation for station subsystem hardware installation, utility distribution, power generation, heat rejection and external payload accommodations. The S0 truss acts as the junction from which external utilities are routed to the pressurized modules by means of EVA-deployed umbilicals. The S0 truss is going to the space station with a complement of pre-integrated hardware to increase ISS functionality, including the Mobile Transporter, the Trailing Umbilical System, the Portable Work Platform, four Global Positioning System antennas, two rate gyros, an Extravehicular Charged Particle Detection System and umbilicals for U.S. on-orbit elements.

Atlantis(STS-110, mission 8A) rejoignait l'ISS [International Space Station] pour doter la Station d’une nouvelle structure : l'Integrated Truss Structure SO(le segment central de la poutre de 91 m à terme). Cette poutre de 13 m et lourde de 12 tonnes a été fixée au-dessus du laboratoire américain Destiny. Elle servira de base à des dizaines de tonnes d’équipements qui seront installés ces prochaines années : panneaux solaires, appareils de refroidissement et autres systèmes nécessaires au fonctionnement de l'ISS. Enfin, les astronautes d’Atlantis ont installé le transporteur mobile, un petit wagonnet qui doit servir de base mobile pour le bras robotique Canadarm2. Une fois opérationnel, le transporteur mobile circulera le long d’un rail installé le long de la poutre S0.
