Hexapod is a support facility to be mounted on an EXPA of the ISS. The facility will be used for the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III(SAGE III). The facility has a bottom plate and a top plate. The two plates are connected by 6 linear actuators. Hexapod receives the pointing data from SAGE III and the actual base position from the ISS-EXPA. From this data the HEXAPOD control algorithm calculates the next position for each leg. Each linear actuator is driven by a double winding Brushless DC Motor, while the position is monitored by an incremental encoder. To sustain the launch load a launch support structure has been designed, which is released by dedicated electromechanical devices. Hexapod is controlled by a dedicated electronic unit... which interfaces to the Station via the MIL BUS 1553B.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - Hexapod%20pointing%20device

Using the DPA, the crew gives commands to each experiment or subsystem via a Remote Acquisition Unit(RAU). Signals passing through the RAU are routed through one of two ’data busses. ’One data bus handles experiment data while the other handles information on the status of Spacelab subsystems. The data are then processed by the computers for display, transmission, or storage as directed by a crew member operating a keyboard at the control center rack.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - remote%20acquisition%20unit
