SpaceRef - Exploration and Missions - Human Missions - International Space Station - External Payloads
Attached Payload BUS (APBUS) - APBUS is a NASDA Space Station device that will provide a simple interface to payloads using the JEM Exposed Facility (EF) to allow the Payload Interface Unit (PIU) to be connected to the main body of the EF and a Grapple Fixture (GF) on the top panel for the JEM Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS).
ESA Announcement of Opportunity for Externally Mounted Payloads - This website features the entire text of this ESA announcement soliciting research proposals for externally mounted payloads on the International Space Station. ESA publication SP1210, December 1996
ESA Announcement of Opportunity for Externally Mounted Payloads during the Early Space Station Utilisation Period - This website features the entire text of this ESA announcement soliciting research proposals for instruments to be mounted and/or experiments to be conducted on one or two 'Express Pallets' attached to the International Space Station's external truss structure for a period of three years starting in 2001. ESA publication SP1201, January 1997
Laser Communications Demonstration Experiment Facility(LCDE) - LCDE is a NASDA Space Station experiment that utilizes small and light weight laser communications equipment with a vibration isolator to reduce tracking disturbance from the space station. The accuracy of the unit's acquisition/tracking/pointing system will be verified by tracking bright fixed stars and then the two-way laser communications between JEM and several ground stations or between JEM and the laser communications satellites.
Monitor of All-Sky X-Ray Image(MAXI) - MAXI is a NASDA Space Station experiment that is capable of systematic monitoring of X-ray intensity variations on both short and long term from the entire sky by X-ray slit cameras.
Space Environment Data Acquisition equipment/Attached Payload (SEDA/AP) - SEDA/AP is a NASDA Space Station device that will measure the space environment near the Space Station on orbit, such as cosmic rays, plasma, neutrons, protons and electrons, atomic oxygen, and cosmic dust. The space environment's effect on the electric parts and materials will also be examined.
Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) - SMILES is a NASDA Space Station experiment that demonstrates utilization of highly sensitive submillimeter-wave limb emission sounder using a superconduction technique which enables three dimensional global observation of trace gases in stratosphere, which are thought to cause ozone depletion and global warming.
