The Life Science Glovebox will provide a sealed work area in which crew members can perform experimental procedures. ... The enclosed volume of the Glovebox will be about one half cubic meter (approximately 16 cubic feet). As air circulates through the work space, activated charcoal filters will clean it continuously by adsorbing chemicals that may be present. In addition, a high efficiency air filter will remove particles and aerosols. Two HHRs [Habitat Holding Racks] provide the structural, mechanical, environmental, and communications support for the biospecimen habitats. The HHRs will provide life support resources and electrical power to the habitats and other scientific equipment, as well as data links to ISS [International Space Station] systems and the ground.
