Sub-Rack Accommodations and EXPRESS Rack. The accommodations for research on ISS [International Space Station] are designed to give a user the option of using what amount to "central facilities" for conducting their research, or developing their own experimental equipment from scratch. ... If no central facility meets a given investigator's requirements, they can consider building "investigation-specific" equipment that is unique to their needs. Such equipment will typically be allocated a sub-portion of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] based on a unit of space called a Mid-deck Locker Equivalent (MLE). This unit has dimensions roughly based on the Space Shuttle's Mid-deck Storage Locker (MDL), which has an internal 0.06 m³ (2.0 ft³) volume and approximate dimensions of 43.2 cm (17 in) width x 50.8 cm (20 in) depth x 25.4 cm (10 in) height. Equiment that is built around the MLE size-concept is typically referred to as a sub-rack payload.
