The main truss segments S0, P1, S1, P3, and S3 were designed as rigid hexagonal sections; a six-point structure is more rigid than one with four points. The hexagonal cross section also maximizes the volume that can be used to load equipment onto the truss. A square will not use the available volume as well as a hexagon. ... The truss segments are not regular hexagons; the sides are not equal in length. The segments are wider than they are tall to further exploit the Shuttle payload bay area. ... The hexagonal truss segments also contain a robotic manipulator arm that travels along two longerons on one plane of the hexagonal truss. 5, record 4, English, - S3%20truss
