CONT

The P1 Truss, the first port truss segment, was attached to the port side of the S0 truss. ... The P1 Truss provides structural support for the Active Thermal Control System, Mobile Transporter and one Crew and Equipment Translation Aid cart. ... The P1 Truss also has mounts for cameras and lights, and antenna support equipment for both UHF [Ultra High Frequency] and S-band communications equipment. The S-band equipment is currently on the P6 Truss.

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 however, the P1 truss is referred to as the first port truss segment.

OBS

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

[...] l'équipage de STS 113 installeront le troisième segment de l'immense poutrelle qui portera éventuellement les panneaux solaires (générant l'électricité) et les grands radiateurs (évacuateurs de chaleur). Il s'agit de la pièce dite P1, le première portion bâbord (gauche) de la poutrelle. Ce segment est identique au S1 (premier segment tribord, droit) installé en octobre. Au terme de cette opération d'assemblage, la poutrelle mesurera 40,5 mètres (elle fera, à terme, 108 mètres).

OBS

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

OBS

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