La Base mobile (MBS) constitue une plate-forme mobile et un poste d'entreposage à l'intention des astronautes pendant les sorties extravéhiculaires. La MBS est équipée de quatre bornes électromécaniques, elle peut donc simultanément servir de base pour le Canadarm2 et pour le Manipulateur agile spécialisé. Puisqu'elle est montée sur un transporteur mobile de fabrication américaine, la MBS peut déplacer ces éléments clés vers le poste de travail requis en faisant glisser le transporteur sur des rails installés sur toute la largeur de la Station. 3, record 2, French, - base%20mobile
