Scientific paper
The spacelab pallets, both long and short, and the equipment, operation, and safety features are described, noting that the project was undertaken by joint agreement between NASA and ESA. Fire extinguishers are included which can be controlled from the Orbiter, from which the oxygen supply originates. Spacelab has its own power and temperature control systems and is purely a work area, which makes it necessary for the crew to eat and sleep in the Shuttle cabin. The shell of the module is composed of aluminum alloy panels, and a 25 mm hole caused by a meteorite can be tolerated. Fracture mechanics simulations have contributed to a leak-before-burst philosophy for the safety of the vessel exterior. The large module is 7 m long and 4.06 m in diameter, while the short module is 2.7 m long and the same diameter. An unmanned igloo can also be flown with palleted instruments to provide power, control, and telemetry.
