Scientific paper

The International Space Station (ISS) has a number of locations for external payloads that are suitable for astronomical and space science observations. Each of the international partners providing science facilities to the United States on Orbit Segment (USOS) section of the ISS have included opportunities for external payloads. One attribute that all the sites have in common is that the ISS acts as the spacecraft, allowing the science team to concentrate on the science instrumentation. Physically, the various facilities available have somewhat different accommodations in terms of the size and mass of the payload accommodated and the resources of power and data services. In addition, each location has a different field of view due to the self-blockage by ISS elements and structures.
