Workers in the Space Station
…
| Description |
Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility look over an S-band Antenna Support Assembly (SASA) that will be attached to the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) Z1 on the International Space Station. The SASA antenna is primarily for local communications between the orbiter and Space Station. The Z1 is an early exterior framework to allow the first U.S. solar arrays, on mission STS-97, flight 4A, to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power. The Z1 is scheduled on mission STS-92, the fifth flight to the Space Station, in the fall |

| Description |
In the Space Station Processing Facility, workers prepare an S-band Antenna Support Assembly (SASA) to be lifted and moved to the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) Z1, an element of the International Space Station. The antenna will be attached to the truss. The SASA antenna is primarily for local communications between the orbiter and Space Station. The Z1 is an early exterior framework to allow the first U.S. solar arrays, on mission STS-97, flight 4A, to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power.

| Description |
On a workstand in the Space Station Processing Facility, workers release the S-band Antenna Support Assembly (SASA) from an overhead crane. The SASA will be attached to the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) Z1, an element of the International Space Station, sitting below. The antenna is primarily for local communications between the orbiter and Space Station. The Z1 is an early exterior framework to allow the first U.S. solar arrays, on mission STS-97, flight 4A, to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power.
