The seal between the two CBM sides is a four-segment, two-sided molded design. Attached to the PCBM ring by 36 bolts, each segment's aluminum substrate is 0.250 in (6.4 mm) thick. Three beads are molded into each segment, ranging in height from 0.044 in (1.1 mm) (inner bead) to 0.050 in (1.3 mm) (outer).
[4] [5] After temporarily being attached to the port side of the Unity module, [6] [7] it was moved to its permanent location on the forward end of the Destiny module on 14 November 2007. [8] Harmony added 70 m 3 (2,500 cu ft) to the station's living volume, an increase of almost 20%, from 420 m 3 (15,000 cu ft) to 490 m 3 (17,000 cu ft).
Three PMAs are attached to the ISS, PMA-1 and PMA-2 were launched in 1998 on STS-88, PMA-3 in late 2000 on STS-92. PMA-1 is used to connect the Zarya control module with Unity node 1, Space Shuttles used PMA-2 and PMA-3 for docking. International Docking Adapter (IDA): [35] Converts APAS-95 to the International Docking System Standard.
The station received a second robotic arm during STS-124, the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEM-RMS). The JEM-RMS is primarily used to service the JEM Exposed Facility . An additional robotic arm, the European Robotic Arm (ERA) was launched alongside the Russian-built Multipurpose Laboratory Module on July 15, 2021.
PMA-3 with IDA-3, attached to the zenith berth of the Harmony module, November 2024. PMA-3 was brought to the ISS by STS-92 in October 2000, mounted on a Spacelab pallet. [19] It was initially attached to the nadir (Earth-facing) berth of Unity. About six weeks later, when STS-97 delivered the P6 solar array truss structure, Endeavour docked at ...
Gripper: A device for grasping or holding, attached to the free end of the last manipulator link; also called the robot’s hand or end-effector. Payload: The maximum payload is the amount of weight carried by the robot manipulator at reduced speed while maintaining rated precision. Nominal payload is measured at maximum speed while maintaining ...
3D Manipulations occurs before a selection task (in order to visually identify a 3D selection target) and after a selection has occurred, to manipulate the selected object. 3D Manipulations require 3 DOF for rotations (1 DOF per axis, namely x, y, z) and 3 DOF for translations (1 DOF per axis) and at least 1 additional DOF for uniform zoom (or ...
In robotics, a manipulator is a device used to manipulate materials without direct physical contact by the operator. The applications were originally for dealing with radioactive or biohazardous materials, using robotic arms , or they were used in inaccessible places.
