The boardlike CMRS allows strapping down a patient on the board with a harness for medical attention by the CMO who is also provided with restraints around the device.
The CMS also monitors crewmembers during exercise regimens, reduces vibrations during the performance of these Astronaut Nicole Stott conducts regimens, and makes periodic a water quality fitness evaluations possible.

Maintenance and operations outside the ISS are accomplished with extravhehicular activities EVAs , or spacewalks, and robotics.
Operational lessons in spacesuit maintainability, training, and ground support may prove critical for longer duration human exploration missions.

The main body and helmet of the suit are integrated and are constructed of aluminum alloy. Arms and legs are made of a flexible fabric material. Crewmembers enter from the rear via the backpack door, which allows rapid entry and exit without assistance. It is also used to move supplies, equipment, and even astronauts, and captures free-flying spacecraft to berth them Video to the ISS.
Since it is mounted on the U. Equipped with lights, video equipment, a tool platform, and Each Solar Array Wing SAW has 2 blankets of 32, solar cells, converting sunlight to DC power and producing a maximum of 31 kW at the beginning of its life and degrading to 26 kW after 15 years.
Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries store electrical energy for use during the night. They will be replaced over time with Lithium Ion batteries. Laboratory Some are located on the truss and some are located in modules. The attitude or orientation of the ISS with respect to Earth and the Sun must be controlled; this is important for maintaining thermal, power, and microgravity levels, as well as for communications. Solar arrays, thermal radiators, and communications antennas aboard the ISS are pointed using the tracking information.
CMGs are kilogram pound steel wheels that spin at 6, revolutions per minute rpm. The high-rotation velocity and large mass allow a considerable amount of angular momentum to be stored. Each CMG has gimbals and can be repositioned to any attitude. The advantages of this system are that it relies on electrical power gener- ated by the solar arrays and that it provides smooth, continuously variable attitude control.
CMGs are, however, limited in the amount of angular momentum they can provide and the rate at which they can move the station. When CMGs can no longer provide the req- uisite energy, rocket engines are used. Service Module Star Sensor U. The ATCS uses mechanically pumped deployment. Inside the habitable modules, the internal ATCS uses circulating water to transport heat and cool equipment. Cabin air is used to cool the crewmembers and much of the electrical equipment.
The air passes heat to the water-based cooling system in the air con- ditioner, which also collects water from the humidity in the air for use by the life support system. Outside the habitable modules, the external ATCS uses circulating anhydrous ammonia to transport heat and cool equipment. Moderate Temperature Water Coolant Loops Russian internal coolant is Triol Fluid.
Russian external coolant is Polymethyl Siloxane. Truss assemblies also contain electrical and cooling utility lines, as well 24 10 37 as the mobile transporter rails. These segments, which are shown in the figure, will be 41 22 31 installed on the station so that they extend symmetrically from the center of the ISS.
ITS segments are labeled in accordance with their location. Then truss segment P6 was mounted on top of 37 36 1 22 7 9 Z1 and its solar arrays and radiator panels deployed to support the early ISS. Subsequently, 37 27 P5 27 30 S0 was mounted on top of the U.
Lab Destiny, and the horizontal truss members P1 and 2 16 10 31 8 10 39 S1 were then attached to S0. As the remaining members of the truss are added, P6 will be removed from its location on Z1 and moved to the outer end of the port side.
The ISS must be maneuvered to assist in 10 Propellant Tanks 16 rendezvous and docking of visiting vehicles and to avoid debris. Thrusters located on the Service Module, as well as on the 6 10 docked vehicles are used to perform these maneuvers. The engines are combined into two groups of 16 engines each, taking care of pitch, yaw, and roll control.

It also enables ground control to monitor and maintain ISS systems and operate payloads, and it permits flight controllers to send commands to those systems.
The network routes payload data to the different control centers around the world. Most of the meteoroids and debris are small and cause little damage.
A small fraction of the meteoroid and debris populations, however, are larger and can cause severe damage in a collision with a spacecraft. With the B Possible penetrations that can be mitigated with shields completion of assembly, more than 11, m2 , ft2 of surface area is exposed C Larger debris is tracked and ISS is maneuvered out of to the space environment.
Due to its large surface area, its long planned lifetime, and the impact path potential for a catastrophic outcome of a collision, protecting the ISS from meteoroids and debris poses a unique challenge. Many ISS elements are shielded from impacts. Other critical areas, such as electrical, data, and fluid lines on the truss and radiator panels, Micrometeorites may approach the ISS from any direction but are less likely from below, where Earth acts as a shield.

Like a Lego set, each piece of the ISS was launched and assembled in space, using complex robotics systems and humans in spacesuits connecting fluid lines and electrical wires.
The ISS components were built in various countries around the world, with each piece performing once connected in space, a testament to the teamwork and cultural coordination. The ISS is to have a pressurized volume of m3 30, ft3 and a mass of , kg , lb including Soyuz vehicles. Its solar arrays will cover an area of 2, m2 24, ft2 and can generate , kW-hours of electrical power per year. Assembly of International crewmembers and ground controllers who support assembly, logistics, and long-duration missions have highly specialized skills and training.
They also utilize procedures and tools developed especially for the ISS. The experience gained from the ISS program has improved the interaction between the flight crews and ground-team members and has made missions safer and more effective.
Moreover, working with teams from many countries and cultures on the ground and in space has provided and continues to provide innovative solutions to critical operational challenges.
