JEM-EF Space Station Carrier System
Abstract
The NASA/GSFC Shuttle Small Payloads Projects Office (SSPPO) is developing a carrier system for accommodating scientific and applications payloads on the Japanese Experiment Module - Exposed Facility (JEM-EF). The carrier structure provides for flexible mounting of payload instrumentation in nadir, zenith, or limb-viewing positions. Avionics capability will be provided to accommodate up to four payloads with independent power and signal connections. The JEM-EF carrier builds on over 15 years of experience in developing and operating the "Hitchhiker" carriers used on the Space Shuttle. This paper describes the carrier system, potential payload configurational and related GSFC activities.
