SSP 52000-PAH-ERP, INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PAYLOAD ACCOMMODATIONS HANDBOOK: EXPEDITE THE PROCESSING OF EXPERIMENTS TO SPACE STATION (EXPRESS) RACK PAYLOADS - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM - INITIAL RELEASE (24 NOV 1997)., The Payload Accommodations Handbook (PAH) constitutes an integral part of the overall International Space Station (ISS) PAH addressing the various laboratory modules and other parts of the ISS infrastructure where payloads may be located. The purpose of this volume is to provide sufficient information that describes the interfaces, resources, capabilities, performance characteristics, and constraints for payloads to be located in the EXPRESS Rack, which will be integrated into the pressurized modules. This will assist payload developers in the design of their equipment for accommodation in the EXPRESS Rack. This document addresses the transportation and on-orbit phases of the EXPRESS Rack payloads and describes the EXPRESS Rack supplementary hardware and services. This document complements Space Shuttle System Payload Accommodations, NSTS 07700, Volume XIV, Revision K; Middeck Interface Definition Document, NSTS 21000-IDD-MDK, Revision B; and the Interface Definition Document and Verification Plan for EXPRESS Rack Payloads, SSP 52000-IDD-ERP and SSP 52000-PVP-ERP, respectively.
